Healthcare centre ‘unaffected’ by examinership

Doctors at the Killarney Primary Care Centre yesterday said normal business has not been affected by a High Court decision to appoint an examiner to the Prime Healthcare Group that had been involved in setting up the centre.

“The High Court decision won’t have any effect on GP services. It is business as usual,” said Dr Gary Stack, one of the practicing doctors at the centre.

Almost 60 people are employed at the one-stop medical centre, which cost €25 million and which houses five GP practices and a pharmacy.
