On Wednesday, when waiting times were at a similar level, officials from the HSE appealed to members of the public to visit their local GPs if possible, and only to attend the county’s A&E department in the event of an emergency.
Other hospitals in the region are also reporting significant pressures – there are 21 patients awaiting treatment at Limerick Regional, and a further 19 in a similar situation at University Hospital Galway.
