MOTION NO. 322

MOTION: Councillor E. O'Brien

Table 4.3 to be amended as follows Phase 2 Provision of a Primary Healthcare Centre in consultation with the HSE

REPORT:

The subject motion proposes amending the Phasing Table to provide a primary healthcare centre in Phase 2. 

The phasing for the Scheme requires the provision of a primary health care centre in Phase 4. It is noted that the Phasing Programme is based on the minimum delivery per phase, and any works may be brought forward and completed sooner than scheduled in the Phasing Programme.  

The Draft Planning Scheme recognises the importance of the provision of healthcare services in Clonburris in tandem with population and supports the Health Service Executive (HSE) and other agencies in the provision of appropriate healthcare facilities, including the provision of community based primary care facilities. Large medical centres and group practices will be favourably considered and accommodated in Clonburris Urban Centre and Kishoge Urban Centre.

The preferred location for the Primary Healthcare Centre provision is within the Urban Centres and as such, the provision is linked to the Urban Centre delivery which may be incrementally constructed in tandem with units. In this context, the Chief Executive recommends leaving the Primary Healthcare Centre phased as per the Phasing Table.

Recommendation
