The HSE has confirmed that physiotherapy is still being provided for patients at St Joseph’s Hospital in Stranorlar and that the facility can still accept discharges from Letterkenny University Hospital.
It emerged earlier this week that to facilitate essential fire upgrade works, primary care physiotherapy appointments were being moved out of St Joseph’s on Monday, February 26th.
In a statement issued on Friday night, the HSE say there was a requirement for patients to be relocated in order to complete the fire safety works within the hospital, and the most suitable area identified was the Primary Care Physiotherapy department, formerly known as Drogheda Ward.
The HSE say that physiotherapy services for in-patients continue to be provided in St Joseph’s.
While primary care appointments are being provided in Lifford and Donegal Town.
The HSE say this will ensure that the continuity of hospital discharges and patient flow from Letterkenny University Hospital are maintained.
