Management at Letterkenny General Hospital are asking the public to consult their doctor before coming to seek medical attention today unless in the case of an emergency.
The hospital is said to be experiencing high activity levels at present which has led to the cancellation of a number of inpatient operations.
“Due to the high numbers attending the Emergency Department, people who require non-urgent medical attention should consult their GP in the first instance.
