The General Manager of Letterkenny University Hospital says there has been a notable increase in the number of people presenting at the hospital with non-Covid related illnesses.

Plans are also in motion to increase waiting room capacity in the ED for Covid and non-Covid patients.
Mr Murphy says they are also continuing to reinstate services at Letterkenny University Hospital:
