I thank the Deputy for raising this matter. Both he and Deputy Cahill have raised it with me. Some weeks back, there was a short-term issue. We engaged with the HSE and, to its credit, it responded very quickly. I thank the Deputy for acknowledging that the service was provided. The development in question is of concern to me and of considerable concern to the local community. We are working on it and I will revert to the Deputy with a note on it. He should rest assured that I want to see this fully resolved. What we really need in place is a full-time, permanent consultant lead for the medical injuries unit.
