Patients Asked To Avoid Midlands Emergency Department Again Today

Staff are struggling to cope with over-crowding.

Mullingar Regional Hospital is advising people to avoid its Adult Emergency Department again this afternoon.

 The hospital is in escalation and the teams are working to manage the current Adult In-Patient and Covid-19 Bed Capacity together with Scheduled Care.

 Patients are asked to consider their options before attending the Emergency Departments.

If you do come to ED and are not triaged as seriously ill, you may need to wait for a long period to be seen.

However, those who require urgent care will be prioritised.
