I acknowledge the HSE capital plan that was announced today by the Minister, Deputy Jennifer Carroll MacNeill, and the Government, particularly the investment across all of our tertiary hospitals, but also in primary care. One particular primary care centre in my constituency, which I campaigned on as a councillor, is the Rathmines primary care centre. It is being co-located on a site where Dublin City Council is building age-friendly housing that will be supported by an approved housing body. I emphasise the impact on the community it is located in. I ask that we continue to invest in the roll-out of primary care centres. Terenure is another area that is underinvested in when it comes to primary care. I emphasise the positive impact those centres can have in providing services in the community they are located in, but also in supporting entry into adult hospitals and children's hospitals. We need to continue that investment in primary care.
