The health care services to be delivered from primary care centres including Rowlagh/North Clondalkin are services issues. Therefore this element of your question has been referred to the HSE for direct reply.

In relation to progress on the necessary infrastructure to support service delivery the HSE stated, in its reply to you dated 16 June 2015, that the project will be delivered using the direct-build mechanism. It also advised that it proposes to purchase the site, subject to the award of planning, from the Department of Education and Skills and that Heads of Agreement have been reached in this regard. Architects have been engaged to undertake a feasibility study. The intention is to submit a planning application by end year 2015. In the event that there is any update on the infrastructure element of this project since 16 June last the HSE has been requested to address this when replying to you on the health care services to be delivered.

If you have not received a reply from the HSE within 15 working days please contact my Private Office who will follow up.
