Naas General Hospital’s emergency department is among the longest-waiting in Ireland so far this year.
Data seen by Kfm reveals how four hundred and twenty-three patients have breached the twenty-four-hour emergency target, spending more than a full day in A&E before being admitted or discharged.
The figures are taken from the HSE’s Urgent and Emergency Care Weekly Performance report for Week 37, covering year-to-date data up to 14 September 2025.
The average admission wait time now stands at about fifteen hours, placing Naas among the worst-performing hospitals nationally.
The median stay for all emergency department patients during the period analysed is seven hours, which exceeds the HSE’s six-hour benchmark.
Rising attendances from older patients aged seventy-five and over are adding to the strain on beds and discharge processes.
Overall emergency attendances at Naas are eight percent higher than in 2024 and twenty-five percent above 2021 levels, highlighting a steep increase in demand as hospitals prepare for the winter surge.
