The overall figure is 43 more than the next busiest facility; Cork University Hospital.
Overall there were 665 patients on trolleys at hospitals across the country, prompting the INMO to request that the HSE “very clearly” advises the public of long delays to be seen in emergency departments across all hospital sites”.
