Very important to maintain full a and e services at portlaoise. The hospital serves surrounding counties also and a and e's at tullamore and naas are already overcrowded. It does not make sense either to cut the hours of our a and e because there will be even more pressure on the service and staff during those 12 hours of opening. Thus people run the risk of not getting proper care like they deserve.We are right beside a busy motorway and if there are accidents these peoples lives will be put in danger as they will have further to go to get to an emergency department. Lessening the hours at portlaoise a and e will not solve the problems at the hospital highlighted by the Hiqa report. There will be tragic consequences if this is allowed to happen.
