Naas General Hospital said its been experiencing very high levels of attendance.

Some 17 people are on trolleys in Naas General Hospital, according to INMO Trolley Watch Figures.

13 patients are in the Emergency Department, while four people are on trolleys elsewhere in the hospital.

Naas General Hospital has been experiencing very high levels of attendance. The Emergency Department (ED) 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 other parts of the health service such as their local Pharmacist, GP, GP out of hours service, or a local injury unit.

Unfortunately, the hospital said, patients who are presenting at the ED in Naas General Hospital with non-urgent conditions are experiencing very 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.
