Local Health Services DirectoryEnnis Area
Guide
Information
2005 - 2006
Welcome to the first edition of a localdirectory of health services for peopleliving in the Ennis RAPID area. Thedirectory has come about from our workwith residents involved in the EnnisRAPID Community Assembly. Thedirectory is part of the ongoingpartnership by the HSE – Local HealthOffice Area (Clare) with the residentsliving in the RAPID area. This directorywill help you make the first contact withkey health services you may need.
The first part of the directory has a mapof the locations for health services. Thedirectory has six sections which arecolour coded offering information on theservice available, who and where tocontact. A number of health messageshave also been included in each section,but messages are relevant to everyone.
Every effort has been made to includeinformation on all services, however,due to the current changes within thehealth service, the directory will need to be updated in the future.

Fáilte chuig an chéad eagrán den Eolaireaitiúil ar sheirbhísí sláinte atá dírithe ardhaoine atá ina gcónaí san limistéir RAPIDna hInse. Tháinig an tEolaire seo ar anbhfód de bharr ár gcuid oibre le muintir naháite atá páirteach sa Tionól Phobail RAPIDna hInse. Tá an tEolaire mar pháirt d’obairrannpháirteach leanúnach atá ar siúl idir anFSS – Limistéar Oifig Sláinte Áitiúil (AnChláir) agus na daoine atá ina gcónaí sareigiún RAPID. Cabhróidh an tEolaire seoleat chun an chéad teagmháil a dhéanamhleis na seirbhísí sláinte ar leith atá agteastáil uait.
Sa chéad pháirt den Eolaire tá léarscáil de shuíomhanna le haghaidh seirbhísísláinte. Tá sé roinnte ina chodanna ildaiteagus le fáil ann tá eolas faoi na seirbhísí atáar fáil agus cé ba chóir teagmháil leo. Sanáireamh tá roinnt teachtaireachtaí sláinte ingach roinn ach baineann nateachtaireachtaí le gach éinne.
Rinneadh iarracht eolas a chur ar fáil ar gach seirbhís ach mar gheall ar nahathraithe sa chóras sláinte beidh gá le hathnuachan san Eolaire go luath amach anseo.
