Most community health services such as disability, mental health, primary care and older people’s services are operating as normal.

The HSE is advising patients to "Go to any appointments you have at health centres, mental health clinics and disability services unless they are listed as cancelled. We will contact you if there is any change."

Adult safeguarding issues can be reported on: 087 771 0213.

Dental clinics are going ahead, but it may not be possible to provide all planned treatment as staff do not have access to dental records, phone your clinic for advice

The HSE is publishing rolling up-dates on the impact on its services here

If you're attending an emergency department, please bring any patient information you have that could help us. This could be any document that includes:
✔Medical Record Number/Patient Chart Number
✔A list of your medications
