Thank you very much, Mr Deputy Speaker. I thank Áine Murphy for securing the Adjournment Debate, and I thank the Members who have contributed. This is an opportunity to recognise and pay tribute to the fantastic work that is carried out by our primary care services.

It is obvious that I am on my own in the Chamber, in a party political sense. Baron Elliott of Ballinamallard would have loved to have taken part in the debate, as he represents the area, but he was called away, and our health spokesperson, Alan Chambers, has been inconvenienced this afternoon. So, it should not be taken as a lack of interest from my party on the issue.

I will come to Members comments presently. Over the past three and a half months, I have had the opportunity to meet many staff working across primary care, including a number of representatives from the South West GP Federation. We are very fortunate to have such a dedicated workforce. I am very aware of the challenges that face general practice. Those are particularly felt in rural communities, because there is a feeling there of being left out of public services and investment more generally. I appreciate that some people in Fermanagh have concerns about whether they will continue to be able to access high-quality primary care in their area. Those concerns are, of course, not unique to Fermanagh, but they carry a particular weight in rural areas. I reassure you that my Department has worked and will continue to work very closely with GP representatives on how best to respond to those challenges.

As some of you will be aware, I want to make it my mission to tackle health inequalities in Northern Ireland. I have announced plans for a pilot scheme under the banner "Live Better" that is aimed at taking services right into the heart of the community and making a positive difference to people's life. I am very aware of the recent issues that were raised in the media about escalating tensions at the GP premises in Lisnaskea. Let me make this clear: that behaviour is absolutely unacceptable, and I condemn it utterly. I fully support our primary care staff and value the dedication that they show daily to those who need them.

You asked about the new health and care centre in Lisnaskea. That facility will support the delivery of integrated primary and community care services for the population of Lisnaskea and the surrounding area of east Fermanagh. I hope that I will not frustrate you too much when I say that the announcement is imminent.

[Laughter.]

Boom. I am sorry. There is no issue that I am aware of that will delay it. It will happen. It is tied in with a couple of other announcements. They need to be tied down — the i's need to be dotted and the t's crossed — and then I will be ready to go. Imminent means imminent.
