Mary Butler (FF), Waterford

As the Deputy will be aware, the SouthDoc co-operative provides GP out-of-hours services. It has 23 health centres located across Cork and Kerry, including the Blackpool treatment centre in north Cork city. The issue of withdrawal or reduction of out-of-hours services at certain treatment centres has been raised several times with the HSE and SouthDoc. Multiple assurances have been received from SouthDoc that there has been no reduction in service to patients in Cork city.
