Issues at the Emergency Department of University Hospital Limerick Raised in the HIQA Report: Discussion
Maria Byrne (Fine Gael) | Oireachtas source
Reference was made earlier to the other services. I refer to the different clinics, such as on Lord Edward Street, and the pharmacies. Is there an educational aspect to this endeavour? I ask because I see people going not into the small injuries units but into the accident and emergency department instead. How do we get this message across? Is more funding required to educate people around the small injuries units being open at certain times or that people with given types of injuries need to go to their local units rather than to the accident and emergency departments?
