MEETING OF LUCAN / PALMERSTOWN / NORTH CLONDALKIN AREA COMMITTEE

Tuesday, November 23, 2021

MOTION NO. 21

MOTION: Councillor L. O'Toole

 Lucan has had an increase in demand for GP's in the area. As new families move into the area the realisation of not been able to access a GP in the area has caused a lot of stress for many. It's reported that there is no GP's are in a position to take on new patients and many are left with having to travel to their existing GP practice which could be in another county. The new developments in Adamstown have put pressure on the demands for medical centres and this committee now asks that the Chief Executive writes to Minister for Health highlighting this issue and asks if he's aware of the lack of available GP's and /or medical services and what plans are in place to introduce new medical centres into the area.

REPORT:

If the motion is agreed by the members, a letter will issue in this regard.
