UHL Corridor

Nurses say the level of overcrowding at the region’s main hospital is beginning to rise once again.

The INMO’s latest trolleywatch analysis shows 58 patients were waiting on trolleys at University Hospital Limerick this morning, 33 of those in the emergency department.

The overall figure is twelve more than the second busiest hospital and comes on a day when 415 people have been left waiting for beds.
