Huge demand on Emergency Department at UHW .

University Hospital Waterford say they are experiencing extraordinary demand on its Emergency Department services at the moment.

The Hospital is addressing the emergency needs presenting to the best of its ability.

The overriding concern is that it continues to meet these demands in the safest and fastest way possible.

To ensure that the Emergency Department service is fully available to those most in need of emergency medical care, University Hospital Waterford is asking the public to make full use of GP and Primary Care services so that Emergency services are retained for those most in need.
