332. Deputy Bríd Smith asked the Minister for Health the number of primary care centres that are fully operational; the number that are under construction or nearing completion; and the number that are planned but have not yet commenced construction. [8403/16]

The HSE has responsibility for the provision and operation of Primary Care Centres. Therefore, I have asked the HSE to respond directly to the Deputy on this issue. 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.
