Hospitals at Saolta University Health Care Group

Portiuncula University Hospital has officially opened the Dunlo Ward today, Monday, 18 September, a new 12 bed ward comprising of eight single ensuite rooms and two double ensuite rooms.

The additional beds was part of the capital funding from the HSE 2020 Capital Plan, costing in excess of €5m for the design, build and equipping of the ward. 

The Emergency Department at Portiuncula University Hospital is extremely busy today and the hospital is advising that patients who attend ED for routine and non-urgent treatment will experience very long waiting times.

As always, people who do require emergency care are encouraged to attend EDs where they will be prioritised.
