Appears to be no end in sight to overcrowding

There appears to be no end in sight to overcrowding at St Luke's Hospital, with trolley figures today rising again.

After a very busy week last week, there are 39 patients waiting on a bed at the local hospital today, INMO figures show.

Previously, the Irish Nurses and Midwives Organisation confirmed that March 2022 was the worst March for overcrowding since the union began counting trolleys in 2006.
