Operations postponed at University Hospital, Galway.

Obráidí curtha ar atráth in Ospidéal na hOllscoile, Gaillimh.

University Hospital Galloway says a number of elective procedures have been postponed due to hospital pressure and a lack of beds.

Deir Ospidéal na hOllscoile, Gallimhe go bhfuil roinnt gnáthamh roghnacha curtha ar atráth de bharr brú san ospidéal agus easpa leapacha.

Urgent and 'time-sensitive' cases are being prioritized by the hospital and the patient is being informed directly when a procedure is to be postponed.

Cásanna práinne agus cásanna atá 'am-íogair' atá ag fáil tús áite ag an ospidéal agus an t- othar á chur ar an eolas go díreach nuair atá gnáthamh le cur ar atráth.

The Emergency Department at the center is also under pressure with people waiting a long time to see a doctor.

Tá an Rannóg Éigeandála san ionad faoi bhrú freisin agus daoine ag fanacht i bhfad le dochtúir a fheiceáil.

A large crowd, almost 400 people, attended the section between Saturday and Sunday.

Slua mór, beagnach 400 duine, a d'fhreastail ar an rannóg idir an Satharn agus an Domhnach.

Because of so many of those who wanted treatment in the hospital itself, there is pressure on the hospital's capacity to provide beds.

De bharr an oiread acu sin ar theastaigh cóir leighis san ospidéal féin uathu, tá brú ar acmhainn an ospidéil leapacha a chur ar fáil.

There is therefore a significant delay, the Hospital says, in bringing people from the Emergency Department to a bed in a ward.

Tá moill shuntasach mar sin, a deir an tOspidéal ar dhaoine a thabhairt ón Rannóg Éigeandála chuig leapa i mbarda.

49 people were waiting on a ward bed this morning, according to the hospital.

49 duine a bhí ag fanacht ar leaba bharda ar maidin, dar leis an ospidéal.

University Hospital Galway says that everyone who comes to the Emergency Department will be attended to, but that this will be done strictly in order of medical need.

Deir Ospidéal na hOllscoile Gaillimh go ndéanfar freastal ar gach duine a thiocfaidh chuig an Rannóg Éidgeandála, ach go ndéanfar sin go docht in ord an riachtanais leighis.

The public is asked not to attend the Emergency Department at the hospital unless it is an emergency.

Iarrtar ar an bpobal gan freastal ar an Rannóg Éigeandála san ospidéal murar éigeandáil atá ann.

First try a GP or an out-of-hours service if possible, that's the advice to the public.

Triail ar dtús ar dhochtúir teaghlaigh nó ar sheirbhís eis- uaireanta más féidir, sin é an chomhairle don phobal.

The HSE also says that the Roscommon Injury Unit is also open from 8am to 8pm to attend to injuries to anyone over 5 years of age.

Deir an HSE freisin go bhfuil Aonad Gortuithe Ros Comáin ar oscailt freisin óna 8am go dtína 8in le freastal ar ghortú ar dhuine ar bith os cionn 5 bhliana d'aois.
