269. Deputy Michael McCarthy asked the Minister for Health for information on the services available to persons living in Dundalk in County Louth who are seeking out-of-hours doctor services; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [36960/15]

270. Deputy Michael McCarthy asked the Minister for Health for an update on when out-of-hours doctor services will be provided to persons living in Dundalk in County Louth; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [36961/15]

I propose to take Questions Nos. 269 and 270 together.

As these are service issues, they have been referred to the Health Service Executive for direct reply to the Deputy. 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.
