I can confirm that, in the package of measures I have agreed with the HSE to alleviate pressures at University Hospital Limerick, the opening hours of Medical Assessment Units at Nenagh, Ennis and St John's Hospitals will be extending to 24-hours. The extension of the operation of this service will be undertaken by the HSE on a phased basis.
