The majority of the county's community health services are operating.

The cyber attack on the HSE is continuing to impact some health service provision in Kildare.

All routine outpatient radiology appointments are cancelled.

The HSE is publishing rolling service up-dates here

Emergency services are operating as normal but the emergency department is very busy. There are delays for patients who need non-urgent care.

The HSE adds "If you have a question, phone 045 849 910. Lines are open Monday to Friday, 8.30am to 5pm."

Most community health services such as disability, mental health, primary care and older people’s services are operating as normal. Go to any appointments you have at health centres, mental health clinics and disability services unless they are listed as cancelled.

The HSE says "We will contact you if there is any change."

Due to the cyber attack, if you have symptoms, you can attend any COVID-19 test centre without an appointment. You will need photo ID & a mobile phone number at the test centre. Learn more about walk-in centres: https://t.co/bgUl7r6pTg
