The level of overcrowding at the region’s main hospital is on the rise once again.

The latest figures from the INMO show 63 patients were waiting for beds at the region’s main hospital this morning, 42 of those in the emergency department.

It’s 20 more than the next busiest facility and comes on a day when 526 people are on trolleys at hospitals across the country.
