Urgent Meeting With HSE CEO Sought, As 116 Patients Waiting On Trolleys At UHL

The Irish Nurses and Midwives Organisation is seeking an urent meeting with CEO of the HSE, as trolley numbers spiral "completely out of hand" University Hospital Limerick is by far the most overcrowded in the country today, with 116 patients left waiting for beds there this morning, the second highest number ever recorded at any hospital in the country. The Midwest Hospitals Campaign insists, meanwhile, that action, rather than words is urgently needed to tackle hospital overcrowding in the short term. Spokesperson Marie Mc Mahon, who's husband died on a trolley in 2018, has been telling Clare FM's Fiona Cahill that she can't understand the lack of urgency around dealing with the crisis in the Midwest.
