Ireland's UL Hospitals Group temporarily reduces scheduled care services due to high ED patient volumes.
The UL Hospitals Group in Ireland has temporarily reduced scheduled care services in multiple hospitals, including UHL, Ennis, Nenagh, St John's, and Croom Orthopaedic Hospital, due to high volumes of patients in the emergency department. Deferrals affect elective inpatient and day surgery, endoscopy, and outpatient appointments, but emergency cases continue to be prioritized. Patients are being contacted directly and encouraged to seek alternatives for less severe cases.
