I am familiar with St. John's Hospital. It plays a very important role in the overall provision of services in the mid west, and especially in Limerick city. I remember many years ago visiting probably one of the first minor injury clinics there, which was an innovation that St. John's pioneered at the time and which became quite the norm afterwards in other hospitals.

I am not aware of the specific project. Subject to it being consistent with the clinical safety issues - the right type of medicine at the right time and in the right place - we have to support facilities such as this because they can take a burden off the major acute hospitals.
