New Outpatient Department Opens At Mater Hospital
A new outpatient department, capable of dealing 220,000 patients a year, has opened at Dublin's Mater hospital.
An online check-in system is also to be introduced at the facility, which will allow patients to select a time slot for their clinic, without having to wait, sometimes for hours, to be seen.
Division of Surgery Chairman Ciaran McDonnell said the new facility will increase capacity and will help reduce waiting lists, as well as offering patients a greatly improved physical environment.
Figures released late last week show that there are over 3,500 patients waiting to be seen at the hospital's outpatient department since January last year.
The hospital's new Emergency Department is due to open at the end of September.
