Midlands Hospital Experiencing High Admission Numbers

Midlands Regional Hospital in Portlaoise is apologising for inconveniences caused.

Midland Regional Hospital Portlaoise is reiterating that it is continuing to experience high patient admission numbers.

They are advising that patients attending the Emergency Department with non-urgent conditions are likely to face lengthy waiting times.

Staff and management have apologised for the disruption and thanked the public for their continued patience, cooperation and understanding.
