Minister for Health

I am advised by the HSE Estates that a proposal is being developed for the expansion and reconfiguration of the Emergency Department in Mayo University Hospital, with the Medical Assessment Unit possibly relocating to first floor level.  This proposal is at an early stage with the scope of any development to be finalised in advance of its further consideration for approval before design work could commence.
