THE UL HOSPITALS Group, which manages six hospitals in the midwest region, has urged the public to consider all care options before attending the Emergency Department (ED) at University Hospital Limerick (UHL), which is presently managing an “unprecedented level” of patient presentations.
A total of 283 patients attended the Limerick ED in the 24 hours to 8am today, “making for the single busiest day ever experienced in the department”, said a spokesman for the hospital group.
