All outpatient appointments and elective activity have been cancelled for today and tomorrow.
Last night, hundreds of staff slept overnight at St. James' Hospital in the capital so that they were available for work this morning.
A big thank you to all @UHW_Waterford staff working tirelessly looking after our patients at this difficult time. Well done everyone. @HSELive @HSEvalues #BeastFromTheEast #StormEmma
