There are 29 patients on trolleys waiting for a bed at Mayo University Hospital this afternoon. That’s the third highest number nationally according to the INMO trolley watch figures.
There are 18 patients on trolleys at Sligo University Hospital, 8 at Portiuncala Ballina sloe and 10 at University Hospital Galway.
Castlebar councillor says that 29 figure on trolleys at Mayo University Hospital is completely unacceptable and represents 10 percent of the patient capacity at the facility.
Independent councillor Michael Kilcoyne is a member of the HSE West Forum and speaking to Midwest News is asking why management did not anticipate demand this time of year, when it decided to carry out renovation works at the hospital.

An excavation project is underway at the former Cholera Field which was the main burial ground for victims of the Cholera epidemic.
The site is located where Sligo University Hospital now stands and where the old Fever Hospital was once located.
It s believed the majority of victims from the Cholera epidemic of 1832 which raged through Sligo, were buried in a mass grave at the site. Other burial places included Sligo Abbey and St John s Churchyard.
It s widely believed that stories told to him by his mother of the epidemic inspired Bram Stoker to write Dracula.
The excavation project is being run by Fádo Archaeology, which is based in Sligo and the Sligo Bram Stoker Society. A geophysical survey by James Bonsall from IT Sligo is also going to assist.
A doctor who punched a fellow doctor, breaking his colleague s finger, has been told to pay €2,000 in compensation for the assault.
Muhmammad Fahad of Store Street, Tullamore, Co Offaly appeared before Sligo District Court where he denied assaulting a former colleague, Asif Anwar.
Dr Anwar told the court that on June 11th he contacted Dr Fahad who he knew from previously working with him at Sligo University Hospital. Dr Anwar was to do two days of locum cover in Sligo and asked Fahad if he could stay at his apartment.
Two days later on his way to Sligo he texted Dr Fahad to confirm, however, Fahad said he was in Dublin.
