Local Emergency Department Services 'extremely busy today'

Statement from Ireland East Hospital Group

Regional Hospital Mullingar’s Adult Emergency Department Services are extremely busy today.

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

We would ask patients to consider their options before attending the Emergency Department.

We would also like to remind the public that our Minor Injuries Unit is closed today, Bank Holiday Monday.

Patients attending the ED, who require urgent care, will be prioritised.

Hospital Management would like to thank the public for their support and understanding during this period.
