Management is warning of busy conditions today.
Mullingar Regional Hospital is warning people to avoid their Adult Emergency Department this morning.
The hospital is reporting busy conditions again to day and staff 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.
