Patients Once Again Asked To Avoid Midlands Emergency Department

Staff are struggling to manage numbers today.

Mullingar Regional Hospital's Adult Emergency Department is busy this morning.

Hospital management has released a statement asking patients to consider their options before attending.

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.

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, if you require urgent care you will be prioritised.
