HSE services in County Carlow set to be suspended due to Strom Éowyn
All South East services are suspended on Friday due to the weather conditions
All non urgent clinics and appointments in hospitals across the South East, including Carlow, will be canceled on Friday due to the severe weather conditions caused by Storm Éowyn.
The other counties effected by these specific HSE cancellations are Dublin South Wicklow, South Tipperary, Carlow, Kilkenny, Wexford and Waterford.
HSE Dublin and South East Regional Executive Officer Martina Queally said that our priority is to ensure the safety and wellbeing of all staff and patients throughout the region. “The safety of the public is our primary focus and all staff across the region are working extremely hard to ensure that we maintain and protect essential services. We are asking patients who attend a HSE service or have an appointment to not travel to a HSE service or appointment unless you hear directly from us.”
“I would like to thank and commend our HSE staff for the work and planning they are undertaking to make sure that essential services are maintained. I encourage everyone to pay attention to all national announcements to shelter in place and I would like to give my deep appreciation to all those working in emergency services who are working to protect the public.”
“Finally, we would urge anyone requiring urgent emergency care to attend their local emergency department for treatment, whilst taking every precaution to keep safe on route. As always, our emergency departments provide emergency care to patients 24/ 7”
