Minor Injuries Unit to open early next year
Kerry TD Pa Daly has welcomed confirmation from the HSE that the new Minor Injuries Unit for Killarney will open early next year.
The facility, which will be located at St Columbanus Home, is expected to ease pressure on University Hospital Kerry by treating non-emergency cases locally.
Deputy Daly said the development is “positive news for patients and families” and will help reduce overcrowding in the Emergency Department.
He added that while the Killarney unit is an important step, there is now a strong case for a similar service in North Kerry. He highlighted that 60% of A&E attendances at UHK come from West Kerry, North Kerry and Castleisland, and said long travel distances remain an issue for many patients.
Deputy Daly also pointed to ongoing problems with out-of-hours GP cover in the Listowel area and said he will raise the need for an additional unit directly with the HSE and the Minister for Health.
