Where possible, people are being asked to consider alternative options.

Midland Regional Hospital Portlaoise are reporting a high volume of people presenting to the Emergency Department.

Patients are currently experiencing long wait times as a result.

People are being advised to consider alternative options - anyone with common minor illnesses can visit a pharmacy or their GP, and anyone with suspected dislocations, or sprains and strains may present at an injury unit.

Patients who require urgent care will be prioritised.

Information on common illnesses and advice on when to seek emergency help can be found here or here specifically for children.
