What's the current wait at Daisy Hill Hospital?
The latest published reading is about 1 hr 19 min. That comes straight from the trust's own feed and shifts through the day — and remember triage decides the order patients are seen, so a genuinely urgent case never waits for the whole queue.
Is the A&E at Daisy Hill Hospital open right now?
Yes — this A&E never closes. It runs 24 hours a day every day of the year, with no appointment needed; arrivals are triaged and treated in order of clinical urgency.
Would somewhere other than Daisy Hill Hospital treat me faster?
Quite possibly, if your problem isn't life-threatening. Urgent treatment centres and minor injuries units around Newry handle sprains, cuts, minor burns and simple fractures with far shorter queues. The nearby-departments panel on this page shows live figures for the closest options, and 111 can book timed slots at some of them.
