1283. To ask the Minister for Health if he will urgently reinstate primary care services at Clonbrusk Primary Care Centre, Athlone, for all service users who have recently had their service transferred to Longford Primary Care Centre; and if he is aware that the primary care centre in Longford has had a substantial increase in service users without any additional resources being put in place to this point.

As this is a service matter, I have asked the Health Service Executive to respond to the Deputy directly, as soon as possible.

1284. To ask the Minister for Health if he will clarify when the proposed primary care centre for Ballymahon, County Longford, will be operational and fully staffed; if he agrees that primary care service users who had been attendees at Clonbrusk Primary Care Centre, Athlone, should be reinstated at that facility until such time as the Ballymahon service is operational.

As the Health Service Executive (HSE) holds responsibility for the provision, along with the maintenance and operation of Primary Care Centres and other Primary Care facilities, I have asked the HSE to reply to the deputy as soon as possible.
