Some appointments at Naas General Hospital remain affected.

Naas General's routine outpatient radiology and blood test appointments are cancelled, in the wake of the cyber attack on the HSE.

The HSE asks that "If you have an outpatient radiology or blood test appointment, do not attend. We cannot contact you directly."

Emergency services are operating as normal but the emergency department (ED) is very busy. There are delays for patients who need non-urgent care.

The HSE says "If you have a question, phone Naas General Hospital between 8.30am and 5pm on 045 849 910."

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

Patients are asked 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."

Audiology services remain cancelled, but adult safeguarding is operating 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, the HSE says patients should "phone your clinic for advice"

Some primary care centres are having problems with phone lines.
