152. Deputy Jack Chambers asked the Minister for Health when the new Corduff health care centre will open in County Dublin; the number of persons who will be employed there; how persons can apply for these jobs; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [8874/16]

163. Deputy Jack Chambers asked the Minister for Health the status of the opening of the primary care centre in Corduff in County Dublin; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [8961/16]

I propose to take Questions Nos. 152 and 163 together.

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 the Deputy has not received a reply from the HSE within 15 working days, he should contact my private office and it will follow up the matter with the HSE.
