There has been some mixed reporting in recent days about the medical assessment units in Ennis, Nenagh and St. John's hospitals. We are all hoping that they will be upscaled to 24-7 capacity, thereby alleviating the huge pressure UHL is incessantly experiencing. Yet, there is mixed reporting on whether this upgrading is imminent. I would like to know, categorically, what the HSE's plans are for Ennis, Nenagh and St. John's, particularly the medical assessment units but also the beefing up of the local injury units. As Mr. Gloster answered in respect of the previous question, will staffing be some sort of curtailment to that upscaling?
