Hospital Services Hit Hard By Snow

The Patient Transfer Service is cancelled at Nobles today due to the weather therefore no patients can be picked up.

The Ambulance crews are under a lot of pressure, especially in respect of calls to outlying areas and the DHSS have told us that they are only dealing with urgent and emergency calls.

All Outpatient Department Clinics have now been cancelled.

The only exception to this is the Breast Clinic which will continue this afternoon.

The public are requested to ring Noble’s Hospital on 650 000 if they require further information.

Outpatients clinics are cancelled at Ramsey and District Cottage Hospital.

The hospital is contacting all patients due to attend a clinic to advise them of the situation.

The Minor Operation Clinic is also cancelled due to adverse weather conditions

Any member of the public who still has to go to Ramsey Hospital today is advised that the safest route into the hospital building is via the Bride Ward entrance, as the access there is less steep.

Some night staff have had to remain at the hospital as they cannot get home.
