Joint Oireachtas Committee on Health

Implementation of Sláintecare Reforms: Department of Health and HSE (Resumed)

Mr. Bernard Gloster:

I will respond briefly to the Deputy's other questions. We have Swiftcare-like units. We call them local injury units. We do not have enough of them but we do have them. Where we are able to stand them up and staff them - as we are in parts of the mid-west - they take a significant number of people away from emergency departments, who have such injuries as small sprains from trips and falls and so on.

I have no plans to interfere with parking charges in primary care centres. I do not know if something is going on there.
