Hospital trolleys
The Midwest Hospital Campaign is calling for enhanced government action to address overcrowding issues at University Hospital Limerick.
Monday saw 81 patients on trolleys at the Dooradoyle facility – around a third of those waiting for a bed in the country – with the number having dropped slightly to 64 yesterday morning.
The UL Hospitals Group says it’s experienced a ‘considerable demand for inpatient beds’ in recent weeks, both from COVID-19 patients and what they say is an increasing number of non-COVID patients who have seen their medical treatment delayed because of public health restrictions.
