The INMO reports this afternoon that there are 13 patients without a proper hospital bed at UHL, the highest figure since Monday but well down on the totals seen in recent months. Nationally there are 117 people without a hospital bed as Emergency Departments continue to come to terms with the impact of the HSE cyber attack on its IT systems.

UHL Director of Medicine says cyber attack is having more of an impact than Covid on hospital system

Clinical Director for Medicine at UHL Dr Alexander Fraser gave the example of a CT scan which would normally be available across the network. “Now when we do a CT scan the only way to look at the CT is on the screen of the CT scanner itself. It’s not connected with anything.”

Our ED in Limerick is a very busy department with maybe 250 patients coming through every day.” “We have an IT tracking system that allows us to keep track of those patients and we know who is in the department, where they are, whether they’ve been seen, how long they’ve been waiting, what doctor has seen them and whether a bed has been booked and so on. All of that is gone and we’re back to paper.”
