Outpatients are asked to attend alone if possible

Portiuncula University Hospital (PUH) is carrying out necessary building works over the coming weeks which will result in reduced capacity in the outpatient waiting area.

As part of what it said were necessary works, the hospital said it had relocated the Outpatient Department. As a result there will be reduced capacity in the outpatient waiting area for the next number of weeks.

The hospital is asking patients to attend for their appointment alone where possible. Only patients who require assistance should be accompanied.

James Keane, Hospital Manager at PUH apologised for the inconvenience caused during these vital works. “I regret the disruption to patients caused during the renovations but this work is vital to improving facilities, providing additional single room accommodation and additional beds. I want to thank the public for their patience and understanding during this work,” he added.
