1437. Deputy Claire Kerrane asked the Minister for Health If her attention has be drawn to a case (details supplied); if she will clarify whether Roscommon Injury Unit is currently equipped and authorised to assess acute eye injuries in children: if so, the reason the child was directed elsewhere for assessment; and if not, the reason HSE information indicates that injury units can treat objects stuck in the eye and other minor eye injuries. [65749/26]

As this is a service matter, I have asked the HSE to respond to the deputy directly.
