St Luke's Hospital issue advice ahead of Bank Holiday Weekend
Members of the public are being asked to consider all healthcare options
Ahead of the February Bank Holiday Weekend, St Luke's General Hospital in Kilkenny is urging the public to consider all treatment options before attending the Emergency Department (ED) at the hospital.
"Patients who do attend the ED in St Luke’s may experience very long wait times in the AMAU/ Emergency Department. However, as always staff will prioritise the sickest patients and most urgent cases for treatment and care," a spokesperson for St Luke's Hospital said.
"Hospital Management would like to thank the public for their support and understanding during this period," they added.
