GP out-of-hours services in two health trusts have been severely hit by staffing shortages Seanín Graham 10 June, 2021 01:00
FEARS about the future of out-of-hours GP services are growing after it emerged that almost 6,000 shifts were unfilled in the Southern health trust over the past two years.
The development comes after The Irish News yesterday revealed the Belfast out-of-hours service was suspended last weekend for the first time due to severe staffing shortages, with patients instead told to go to a hospital urgent care centre.
Concerns have been also been raised about the impact of reduced access to GPs during the pandemic, with many people attending overstretched A&E departments as an alternative.
Closures and restrictions are expected to impact sections of I-17, Loop 101 and US 60 this weekend (June 4-7), according to the Arizona Department of Transportation.

Australian researchers are launching a koala facial recognition study that aims to better monitor the marsupials behavior and ultimately aid in their conservation.
The team from Griffith University is attempting to use artificial intelligence (AI) to recognize individual furry mammals when they use wildlife road crossings in Queensland state.
Approximately 20 cameras will be placed at koala crossing locations in the Redland City Council area with 20 cameras by the end of July 2021.
These crossing locations are designed as underground pathways and bridges at busy roads near animal habitats to offer them a safer route away from cars.
But koalas often ignore them, and instead walk over the roadway, with many struck and killed by cars.
