The region’s main hospital continues to be by far the busiest in the country, despite a slight drop in trolley numbers today.
There were 80 patients waiting for beds at University Hospital Limerick this morning, according to the latest INMO figures, 56 of those in the Emergency Department.
It comes following an appeal by the UL Hospitals Group to the public to examine all options before attending, such as your GP, GP out of hours service or the Injury Unit at Ennis General Hospital.
