Nurses take to streets in protest against overcrowding
In the first week of this month, INO figures show an average of 326 people were on trolleys compared to 291 in the first week of March and 256 in the first week of February.
This is despite pledges from the Department of Health that increased investment would begin to show results by late March. INO general secretary Liam Doran said the lunchtime demonstrations were aimed at urging the community to express their anger, and frustration at the lack of progress.
