Dara Calleary (Mayo, Fianna Fail) | Oireachtas source

I thank the Deputy for the weekly tour of Carlow. I can assure her the review of the current injury and medical assessment units that was begun last October has been finalised and an implementation plan is now being developed. That is particularly quick for the HSE. It would be useful for the Deputy to supply to the Minister the census figures she referenced, including for Graiguecullen and the portion in Laois, to back up the work that might be underway with the implementation plan. The Minister is clear Carlow will be considered as part of the implementation plan, but that is of course subject to resource and other considerations, including the alignment with urgent and emergency care national and local plans. It would be useful for the Deputy to provide that up-to-date information to the Minister directly. I will advise him to expect it from her.
