Previous permission request was denied following appeal by local residents

While it was in the State’s interest that primary care centres be developed, it was only fair that this should be reflected in terms of financial risk-sharing by the State, according to the Head of University College Cork’s Department of General Practice.

The grant of planning permission from An Bord Pleanála for the Crumlin-Drimnagh primary care centre (PCC) was not received in time for the site to be included in the public/private partnership (PPP) project but an alternative means of funding the development is through the HSE’s capital plan, the Seanad has been told.

Fourteen Primary Care Centres (PCCs) are to be built across Ireland following agreement of a new €70 million 25-year loan from the European Investment Bank (EIB).

Dr Ruairi Hanley is disappointed to find that all our politicians seem to be suffering from the budget-busting illusion that building more primary care centres is the answer to all our health service ills.

It is proposed to have 80 primary care centres completed in 2016, compared to 20 in 2015, Minister Kathleen Lynch has said.

The HSE intends to submit a planning application for a primary care centre (PCC) for North Clondalkin/ Rowlagh before the end of the year, the Executive has said.

The National Development Finance Agency (NDFA), part of the National Treasury Management Agency (NTMA), has named Prime Balfour Beatty as preferred tenderer for a €140 million Primary Care Centre (PCC) Public Private Partnership (PPP) project.

The Government should roll out its proposed 90 primary care networks before the end of this year, “if it is serious about providing a viable healthcare system across the whole country”, the Director of Social Justice Ireland has said.

The HSE has submitted proposals to the Department of Health for the re-advertising of primary care centres (PCCs) to be provided under operational lease arrangements with the private sector, IMT has learned.
