The number of patients recorded on trolleys at the MidWest region’s main hospital in June has fallen by 100 compared to this time last year.

A total of 1,799 patients were recorded on trolleys at UHL in June , more than double the figure of 885 noted at the next busiest facility, Sligo University Hospital.
