There were 41 patients admitted to Letterkenny University Hospital without a bed this morning, according to figures published by the INMO.
That includes 12 patients waiting for a bed in the Emergency Department.

At Sligo University Hospital, 33 patients were admitted without a bed.
That brings the total number of patients waiting for a bed across the North West to 74, just under 17% of the national total of 441.
