A CORK CITY hospital is asking patients to stay away from its emergency department because it’s too busy right now.
A spokesperson for Mercy University Hospital says that the hospital is dealing with a “surge in patients” at its emergency department and that people needing les urgent treatment should seek care elsewhere.
“Patients with less urgent complaints are advised to contact their GPs or South Doc, in the first instance, or avail of services at the Mercy Urgent Care Centre,” the spokesperson said.
Escalation procedures have been put in place to deal with the amount of patients presenting to the hospital with numbers described as “exceptionally high”.
The department remains open but patients who do attend are likely to experience long delays.

Thanks science denying numpties! Blood on your hands.
@GrahamMManning: Despite agreeing with your sentiment, that kind of phrasing isn’t at all going to help them become more open to vaccination, in fact I’d say it would do the opposite.
@Diarmuid Hunt: agreed but at this point (ur not local nite?) do you really need anyone adopting standards views re this?
@GrahamMManning: are scientific studies the same as medical studies?
Anti vax types are morons.
Refugees , thanks
have your say
