305. Mr. Deasy   asked the Minister for Health and Children if provision has been made in the 2003 Estimates for the development of new general practitioners out of hours co-operatives; the portion of this which will be made to the South-Eastern Health Board; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [24564/02]
Minister for Health and Children (Mr. Martin): The abridged Estimates volume for 2003 includes provision for an increase in spending on general practitioner out of hours co-operatives. I am not yet in a position to indicate how the available funding will be allocated as I am currently examining submissions received in this regard from health boards, including the South-Eastern Health Board.
