'It’s time for direct, high-level HSE intervention' - Limerick trolley figures at record-high levels

According to the INMO, there are over 100 nursing vacancies in the hospital that are not being filled due to a current recruitment ban.

There are record levels of overcrowding at the University Hospital Limerick this morning with 81 patients on trolleys.

This is tied for the most ever waiting for a bed at the hospital in what has already been the worst September on record for the mid-west hospital as there has been over 1,000 patients on trolleys there in the last 23 days.
