The Hospital Group acknowledge the support of the Defence Forces and Civil Defence in assisting with emergency transportation of patients and staff when requested.
"We would encourage people to consider all options available to them for their healthcare needs and to protect the ED for those most seriously ill as delays can still be expected."
