Over 100,000 Contacts Made To Midoc In The Midlands In 2022

Figures from the HSE show that's an increase of nearly 12,000, on the year prior.

Over 100,000 contacts were made to Midoc out-of-hours GP services in the midlands in 2022.

Figures from the HSE show that's an increase of nearly 12,000, on the year prior.

48,464 attended Midoc treatment centres in the midlands last year - that's an increase of over 18,000 on figures from 2021.

Portlaoise saw the most traffic in the region in 2022, with 18,993, rising by just over 8,000 from the year prior.

That's followed by 16,166 in Tullamore - that's an increase of 40% compared to 2021's figures.

Attendances jumped by over 4,000 in Mullingar, resulting in a 13,305 figure for 2022.

The future of out-of-hours GP services in the midlands has been up in the air, since the MIDOC group ceased trading last year.

The HSE says services are continuing as normal, but a long-term solution has yet to be found.
