The HSE wishes to advise that NoWdoc GP out of hours service is currently very busy and experiencing a high volume of calls at present.
This is expected to further increase over the Christmas period.
“Urgent care calls are prioritised and dealt with first. We ask for your patience and to expect longer than usual wait times,” a spokesperson for the health authority said.
The NoWDOC Service, which is a partnership between the GP members of Caredoc and the HSE, provides an urgent GP family Doctor service to patients of GP members in Counties Donegal and south Leitrim.
The service is designed to provide urgent GP care to patients and is not a substitute for the Emergency Ambulance Service who are the appropriate service to deal with medical emergencies where they arise.
