Save portlaoise A&E services now following the Leaked Report of the Midlands. Hospital group management .

Maternity services saved the lives of My Wife and 3 children, two emergency C Sections, and one elected C Section deliveries. I am thankful everyday for the Midwives and Doctors of Portlaoise Hospital. Save the services at Portlaoise

This a&E department is needed and is in high demand

Everyone in the country should be within a 15 minute drive of a Trauma centre. People will die if these plans for Portlaoise hospital are put through.

we need our A&E

Because we need the hospital. We are a very fast growing county ever increasing population and a large prison population. The nearest hospital otherwise would be Naas or Tullamore both almost an hour away.also no one gets sick only during office hours.

Where is Charlie Flannagan now when the people of Laois need support???

Bottom line here is patient care.
Finances should never be a reason to make decisions in healthcare.

Portlaoise hospital has many problems but its greatest is the the lack of planning, foresight and Investment in its staff.There is no service private or public that hasn't its problems, there are many tho that are needless and useless. Our hospital is neither.It is literally the lifeline of every man woman and child and too valuable to us all to loose.We need direction, investment and resources put into our hospital, not cutbacks, poor judgement and mindless decision making.

It's a necessity

We need this service it is vital for me my family, neighbours and friends. This is a bad decision to close A&E after 8pm

My very large extended family rely on this hospital both for medical care and employment.

My sister has 5 children in laois one has special medical needs! What is my nephew going to do if he has emergency where will my sister take him!?!!!

my son was badly injured in crash 10 years ago and was treated in Portlaoise A&E first before been transffered to Dublin If he wasn't seen there and had to wait in A&E in Dublin to be seen might not be here today and my family have been treated very well there on numerous occassions

Please live people alive

Do not want A&E services closed. Portlaoise hospital is very central.

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.

Because im a third student nurse.. going t college in athlone institute of technology. I have done a six week placement in the ED portlaoise- and I have not a bad word to say about it. I am hoping I get my internship in portlaoise and I just hope the media give the hospital a break because out of the three midland hospitals I cover- portlaoise. . Tullamore and mullingar- portlaoise is by far my favourite. And I have many reasons for that which I would prefer to not mention.

Unfortunatly portlaoise hospital has only been given negative press lately. My experiences in the hospital have always been good and i think its so unfair that the press has been so biased. I hope that people come out and support the hospital.

We need our hospital. It is a good hospital.

It's important to me and everyone around the locality to keep our A&E open 24 / 7
