The management at Tipperary University Hospital apologises for any inconvenience caused

The Emergency Department (ED) at Tipperary University Hospital in Clonmel is currently experiencing increased presentations. 

Management at the hospital is asking people to only attend in the case of a genuine emergency, advising that, where possible, a GP or Caredoc out of hours service be consulted in the first instance.

"We are asking people to think about all their care and treatment options and keep our ED services for the patients who need them most," the statement said.

"The Emergency Department has been under continuing pressure, with high numbers presenting with a variety of complex needs. However, if members of the public are seriously injured, ill or are worried that your life is at risk the ED will assess and treat you as a priority.

"Staff and management are working to prioritise the discharge of patients as soon as possible where appropriate.

"The management at Tipperary University Hospital apologises for any inconvenience caused".
