Maura Gillen, General Manager, HSE Primary Care, Donegal said: “We would ask people to please bear with us when they contact the NoWDOC Service over the Christmas period as we expect to receive a high volume of calls. We will continue to ensure urgent calls are prioritised and dealt with first. We also advise that patients and service users ensure that prescriptions and medicines are arranged with their own GP and pharmacy before the holiday period commences.”
