The Regional Director of Operations, Dublin North East, established a group to undertake an independent assessment of the need for a medical assessment unit (MAU) in Monaghan Hospital and of the projected cost of running such a unit. The group began its work in October 2011.

I have received the report of the group and it has been referred to the Acute Medicine Programme for review. The outcome of this review is currently awaited.
