Staff at Tipperary hospital under pressure

Figures from the Irish Nurses and Midwives Organisation today show that there are 26 people stuck on trolleys or chairs between the Clonmel hospital's A&E and wards. 

The situation is not any better at the University Hospital in Limerick, which covers North Tipperary. 

Trolley watch figures show that there are 42 patients at the Dooradoyle health facility waiting for a bed.
