The Saolta hospital group has confirmed a number of cancellations to key services due to the ongoing IT attack at Roscommon University Hospital
In a statement this afternoon, they claim that the ransomware attack on the HSE IT systems continues to have a considerable impact on hospital services.
All outpatient clinics are cancelled and all diagnostics including x-ray are cancelled.
Endoscopy services are cancelled and all elective inpatient and day case procedures are cancelled; a small number of procedures may go ahead and in this event patients will be contacted directly.
Patients can also expect significant delays in the Roscommon Injury Unit as existing IT systems are not in use and the manual workarounds in place are time-consuming.
Where possible patients should bring their existing patient number or board number with them when they come to the hospital.
This number appears on appointment letters, test results, blood test results.
