Mr Donnelly directed that the plan to extend the opening hours of injury units be put in place within the next couple of months. However, Mr Donnelly expressed frustration at the planned time frame for extending their opening hours. In a letter to Mr Devane, the Minister said proposals for extending the opening hours of existing injury units were first put forward in the Urgent and Emergency Care Plan which was agreed by the Government in July last year. “The aim was to ensure that all injury units were operating from 8am to 8pm. The issue has been raised at a number of ministerial/urgent and emergency care meetings.
