Campaigners from the Mid-West have met other hospital campaigners from around the country to plan a national day of marches as the overcrowding crisis continues.

Limerick City was already earmarked for a march by local campaigner Mike Daly, set for January 21, to draw attention to long waiting times at the emergency department at University Hospital Limerick.
