I thank the Minister of State for her response. Is there a timeframe for the review? When does the Minister expect it will be completed? We are aware that the Minister visited the hospital in July of this year and we met him that Saturday morning. We are disappointed he has not come back yet with his plans. There is a degree of urgency attaching to this. There are people lying on trolleys for hours on end. It is very unfair and I have no doubt that there are people going to Cavan Hospital and Drogheda Hospital who could easily be treated in the Monaghan minor injuries unit. It makes perfect sense to extend its opening hours to seven days a week. I implore the Minister of State to do that as a matter of urgency.
