The new unit is set to be located in Athlone.
It's still unclear when a new injury unit in Westmeath is expected to open.
The new unit, which is set to be located at the Clonbrusk Primary Care Centre in Athlone, was scheduled to open last year but has been pushed back due to "recruitment for a range of posts required".
In a statement to Midlands 103, the HSE says they are "committed to opening the facility as soon as these processes are completed and will provide a confirmed opening date once available".
The unit is aimed at managing and treating minor injuries, including fractures of the arms and legs, minor burns and scalds, as well as wounds and bites, in order to enhance access to urgent care services in Athlone and the wider Midlands region.
