Naas General Hospital
A hospital in County Kildare has urged patients with non-emergency conditions to seek assistance from other parts of the health service.
Naas General Hospital said it has been experiencing a high level of attendances and admissions in recent days.
It said in a statement: "Where possible, management at Naas General Hospital are asking patients with non-emergency conditions to seek assistance from other parts of the health service such as their local Pharmacist or GP.
"Unfortunately, patients who are presenting at the ED in Naas General Hospital with non-urgent conditions are experiencing long waiting times to be seen.
"Any patient who needs emergency hospital care will be seen and Naas General Hospital would urge such patients not to delay attending the ED.
"Do not delay in seeking medical attention if you suspect you are having a heart attack or stroke, please dial 999 or 112 in an emergency."
The management also reminded members of the public that do come into the hospital to wear a facemask, practice social distancing, and ensure you tell the triage personnel if you have any signs/symptoms of Covid-19.
Naas General Hospital added that it apologises for any inconvenience caused, and thanked the public for their 'understanding and consideration.'
