KILDARE: Very long waiting times at Naas Hospital today - HSE
Naas General Hospital has been experiencing very high levels of attendance and the emergency Department is under pressure with many patients requiring admission.
Where possible, the management at Naas General Hospital is asking patients with non-emergency conditions to seek assistance from their local pharmacist, GP, GP out of hours service, or a local injury unit.
"Unfortunately, patients who are presenting at the ED in Naas General Hospital with non-urgent conditions are experiencing very long waiting times to be seen," the HSE said in a statement.
Any patient who needs emergency hospital care will be seen and the hospital is urging these patients not to delay attending the ED. Those attending the ED in an emergency are asked to tell the triage personnel if they have any signs/symptoms of Covid-19. The hospital apologises for any inconvenience caused and once again thanks the public for their support and understanding.
