Pringle welcomes recruitment of permanent GP for Dunkineely

Independent TD for Donegal, Thomas Pringle, has welcomed the news that the HSE has recruited a permanent GP for Dunkineely.

Deputy Pringle said: “I raised the issue of lack of GP cover in Dunkineely with the Taoiseach last week. I’m glad to confirm a permanent GP has now been recruited and will be in place early in the new year.”

Deputy Pringle spoke of people’s concerns about the future of the Dunkineely Health Centre with the Taoiseach in the Dáil last week.

In a statement, the HSE said they are progressing through the contract process with the new doctor, who is expected to be in place early in the new year.
