142. To ask the Minister for Health the total number of primary care centres currently operational throughout the country; the number and location of those yet to be provided, or in course of construction; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [8456/15]

To date, there are 86 Primary Care Centres in operation throughout the country, 43 of which have opened since 2011.
There are currently 37 locations where Primary Care Centres are at an advanced planning stage using one of the following three methods of delivery:
- Direct build (by HSE);
- Public Private Partnership (PPP) project; or
- Operational Lease with the private sector.
I have asked the HSE to respond directly to the Deputy in regard to the locations. If you have not received a reply from the HSE within 15 working days please contact my Private Office and they will follow up the matter with them.
