25 patients on trolleys in Kilkenny on Monday
The Irish Nurses and Midwives Organisation has warned that safe care must be a priority with over 631 patients on trolleys in Irish hospitals yesterday (Monday), including 25 in St Luke's, Kilkenny.
“As predicted, it has been an incredibly busy weekend across all hospital sites," INMO General Secretary Phil Ní Sheaghdha said.
“It is unacceptable that 140 patients are on trolleys in inappropriate bed spaces on hospital wards. The HSE must direct hospitals to cancel electives and concentrate on the de-escalation of trolleys from understaffed and overburdened wards.
“It is obvious that in times of severe overcrowding such as this weekend and going into the week ahead, that our public hospital system cannot provide both safe emergency and elective care. The provision of safe care must be the priority.”
