Union calls for winter plan publication with 2,305 patients on trolleys during first week of November

The union said that unless “urgent action” is taken, hospitals will see “record-breaking numbers” every week.

The Irish Nurses and Midwives Organisation (INMO) has urged the Government and HSE to publish their winter plan as it revealed that 2,305 patients were on trolleys during the first week in November.

The INMO say the figure is the highest since the Covid-19 pandemic began.
