Fall in trolley numbers linked to less GP referrals due to Covid 19
As the numbers of coronavirus rise, levels of patient overcrowding in hospitals have reduced dramatically, according to the latest statistics published by the Irish Nurses and Midwives Organisation (INMO).
University Hospital Limerick (UHL), which has been consistently the most overcrowded hospital in the country, has seen numbers of patients on trolleys in the 24-hour emergency department fall significantly in the wake of the spread of Covid-19.
