Overcrowding at Sligo hospital 'beyond demoralising' for staff

The INMO has stated that safety issues are particularly severe in the emergency department, with Sligo University Hospital treating 5,901 patients on trolleys since January.

Healthcare workers have called for an urgent inspection of Sligo University Hospital, claiming that overcrowding issues and other conditions are "beyond demoralising" for staff.

The Irish Nurses and Midwives Organisation (INMO) is urging the Health and Safety Authority (HSA) to intervene, claiming there are issues relating to the risk of fire, injuries, and additional infections.
