Nearly 9,500 patients were left waiting for beds at hospitals across the country over the past month, the highest ever number recorded in July.

The figures are 33% higher than the same month last year, according to the Irish Nurses and Midwives Organisation.

However the situation at South Tipp General in Clonmel was much worse – the number of patients without a bed last month was 509 – a 54% increase on July 2018.

University Hospital Limerick – which serves North Tipperary – recorded the highest emergency department waiting figures, with 1,293 people left on trolleys in July. This compares with 897 for the same time last year so a 44% increase.

When records began in 2006, there were 3,460 patients on trolleys nationwide in July, just over a third of this year’s figure.
