Update: Nenagh Local Injury Unit to reopen this Saturday following temporary closure
The Injury Unit at Nenagh Hospital, which has been temporarily closed due to issues arising from staffing as a result of sick leave, will reopen as normal this Saturday morning.
UL Hospitals Group is advising people requiring treatment for minor injuries to attend the Injury Units at St John’s Hospital in Limerick, or Ennis Hospital, until the Nenagh unit is reopened.
"We apologise to any patient who is inconvenienced by this temporary closure. The decision was taken to ensure patient safety, which we strive to protect at all times. No other services are impacted," they said in a statement.
The group is urging people with minor injuries not to attend the Emergency Department at UHL.
