The Irish Nurses and Midwives Organisation has once again called on the HSE and Government to take urgent action after recording record trolley figures in Irish hospitals in June.
Just under 10,000 patients went without a bed across the State in June, with 828 people waiting on trolleys at University Hospital Galway last month.
“Nurses are constantly raising the dangers associated with overcrowding in their workplaces, however the figures for the month of June are out of control and a stark warning of what is to come for the autumn and winter period, considering none of the mitigation measures necessary are being implemented.”
“This level of overcrowding warrants senior HSE and government attention, it is not OK and it is not safe.”
