Martin: CUH staff admit patients will die due to overcrowding

Taoiseach criticised over his ‘see no evil’ response to the situation

Cork University Hospital staff have admitted that patients will die at the campus due to overcrowding — yet it has the highest numbers of people waiting on trolleys in the country.

A total of 65 patients waited for hospital beds in CUH yesterday., according to the Irish Nurses and Midwives Organisation’s Trolley Watch figures.
