Mullingar hospital remains in escalation today

The Emergency Departments at MRH Mullingar continue to be busy today and patients have been asked once again to consider their options before attending.

In a statement issued a short while ago, hospital management said:

The hospital remains in escalation and the teams are working to manage the current Adult and Paediatric In-Patient and Covid-19 Bed Capacity together with Scheduled Care.

We would 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.
