Dáil Éireann Debate, Thursday - 23 July 2020
291. Deputy David Cullinane asked the Minister for Health his plans to reopen AMUs and ASUs; his further plans to improve linkages with general practitioners in this regard; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [17885/20]
View answerI can assure the Deputy that AMAUs and ASAUs continue to operate where local circumstances have allowed. In some cases, AMAUs and ASAUs are supporting Emergency Departments by reducing the potential for overcrowding. Current arrangements between acute hospitals and GPs continue and any changes to referral pathways to AMAUs and ASAUs continue to be notified to GPs.
