REDUCTIONS in scheduled care across the University of Limerick Hospitals Group (ULHG) have been extended for a further week as high levels of Covid-19 related staff absences mean emergency and time-critical care must be prioritised.

The UL Hospitals Crisis Management Team this Friday confirmed the deferral of the majority of scheduled surgery and outpatient appointments across the group from Monday, January 10 until Friday, January 14. This includes University Hospital Limerick, Ennis Hospital, Nenagh Hospital, St John’s Hospital, and Croom Orthopaedic Hospital.
