The Health Minister says University Hospital Limerick is doing ‘too much heavy lifting’ in the Midwest.
There are 72 patients on trolleys in Dooradoyle as of this morning according to the Irish Nurses and Midwives Organisation, which is again the highest in the country.
While it’s a fall from the 96 patients waiting for a bed yesterday, UHL is still by far the most overcrowded facility nationwide yesterday, with trolley numbers having peaked as high as 111 last month.
