INMO calls for meeting with HSE on overcrowding and 'hazardous conditions'

Around 2,800 patients have been treated on trolleys so far this month, which is almost double the number in the same period last year.

The Irish Nurses and Midwives Organisation (INMO) has asked for an emergency meeting with the Health Service Executive (HSE) to discuss the unacceptable level of overcrowding in hospitals.

The INMO wrote to the health service on Friday, outlining their concerns with overcrowding is in accident and emergency departments.
