The number of people waiting for beds at the region’s main hospital has jumped significantly today.

The latest INMO figures show 70 people were waiting to be admitted at University Hospital Limerick this morning, 55 of those on trolleys in the Emergency Department.

The overall figure is almost three times the next busiest facility and represents more than a quarter of all those waiting for beds at hospitals across the country today.
