Full capacity protocol has been implemented again today at University Hospital Galway as the Emergency Department is extremely busy.
The HSE says there are significant numbers of patients awaiting admission to the hospital and efforts are continuing to identify patients who can be discharged.
Management at the hospital are advising anyone planning to attend the A&E to expect long delays and apologised for any distress caused.
Patients are advised to attend their GP unless it’s a real emergency.
Figures from the Irish Nurses and Midwives Organisation show there are 44 people on trolleys awaiting admission at UHG today.
