He believes Portlaoise needs the centre.
A Laois TD is calling on the public not to lodge any objections to plans for a new primary health care centre.
Fianna Fail TD Sean Fleming believes Portlaoise needs the centre to accommodate its growing population.
The HSE applied for planning permission for the health campus yesterday for the facility in the grounds of St Fintan's Hospital on the Dublin Road.
It will include a GP surgery, dental surgeries, X-ray services and CAMHS rooms.
Deputy Fleming says he doesn't want anything to delay the project as has been seen in other cases recently:
