124 On Trolleys At UHL Today

University Hospital Limerick is more overcrowded than all ten Eastern hospitals combined for the third time in as many weeks.

The Irish Nurses and Midwives Organisation recorded 124 patients on trolleys at the MidWest Region’s main hospital during this morning’s rounds, more than double the 56 patients without a bed at University Hospital Galway.

Two patients have also been recorded on trolleys at Ennis General.

MidWest Hospital Campaign Spokesperson Marie McMahon says a further expansion of hours in Ennis should be considered.
