Hospitals and Healthcare

The HSE has developed a webpage that provides local information regarding the availability of services during Storm Eunice – you’ll find it here

Updates there are provided by county to ensure people can easily access the information they require and will include services that have been cancelled or closed.

In addition, the National Ambulance Service will as always prioritise emergency calls during this weather event and is urging the general public to think carefully before calling. The response to emergency calls may be hindered by road conditions and local impacting factors. Personnel will do their utmost to reach those in greatest need of our emergency services.

Impacts, if any, are going to be localised in different areas and some areas or services may not be impacted at all.
