Monthly hospital trolley figures 'break all records' for March

Trolley/Ward watch figures for March broke all records for that month, the Irish Nurses and Midwives Organisation (INMO) revealed today.

A total of 10,511 patients waiting for an in-patient bed, including 3,112 in just one week, and 714 patients on trolleys awaiting admission on one day - a new record. Some 191 children also waited on trolleys.
