61 people are waiting on a trolley at Letterkenny University Hospital today.
It’s the second most overcrowded hospital in the country today with 11 people waiting on a bed in the Emergency Department and a further 50 waiting on wards.
534 patients are waiting on a bed at hospitals across the country today, the highest figure since the beginning of the pandemic.
The Irish Nurses and Midwives Organisation is calling as a result, for bespoke plans to tackle overcrowding in each hospital.
