Regional Hospital Mullingar still in escalation

Regional Hospital Mullingar remains in escalation this morning as there are high attendances to Adult and Paediatric Emergency Departments.

The hospital teams are working to manage bed capacity and with scheduled care.

Hospital management ask patients to consider their options before attending the Emergency Departments.

If you do come to ED and are not triaged as seriously ill, you may need to wait for a long period to be seen.

Adult and Paediatric Patients who require urgent care will be prioritised.

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