INMO says it’s seeing “overcrowding challenges” in each part of the country

The Irish Nurses and Midwives Organisation says it’s seeing “overcrowding challenges” in each part of the country.

626 people are waiting for beds in hospitals nationwide today, with RSV, COVID and influenza infections expected to peak this week and next.

39 people are waiting on a trolley at Letterkenny University Hospital.

The INMO says the HSE and individual hospital groups must introduce “immediate de-escalation measures in some of the worst affected areas.”
