The INMO is warning of “dangerous levels” of hospital overcrowding ahead of the Bank Holiday Weekend.
682 people are on trolleys in hospitals around the country, with University Hospital Limerick – which covers North Tipp – accounting for the largest number of those, with 98.
The Irish Nurses and Midwives Organisation is calling on the HSE to outline how it plans to discharge patients ahead of the weekend, and says there’s been no let up for staff trying to care safely in “impossible conditions”.
Front line staff at Tipperary University Hospital in Clonmel are caring for 30 patients without a bed today.
There are seven patients on trolleys at Nenagh Hospital.
