Mobile health clinic funding

Summary

After a procedural dispute over supplementary questions, Deputy O’Hanlon asked when capital funding would enable the Eastern Health Board to establish a mobile health clinic. The Minister expected this to happen within about a month.

I have called Question No. 9. This is all a farce.

That is one of the fallacies, that every Deputy thinks he has the right to put a supplementary question.

Will the Chair attribute responsibility for making this a farce?

I am sorry, I have called Question No. 9 and I ask the Minister to reply to it.

In his reply the Minister said he was making the necessary capital funds available immediately to the Eastern Health Board to set up a mobile health clinic. When does he expect this to happen?

In a matter of a month or so. There should be little difficulty because the health board have agreed.
