Mr. Tony O'Brien:

There is always a consideration of the financial impact but the decision has been made primarily on the basis of clinical benefit, but I will provide the Deputy with fuller details. I do not have the file with me.

The Deputy asked some questions about local injury units in respect of South Tipperary General Hospital and ambulance services in the mid-west. I will answer on the mid-west. I ask Mr. Woods to comment on Clonmel and local injury units.
