Eight in 10 concerned about misdiagnosis due to HSE crisis 

 Patients in a hallway at Cork University Hospital. Some 38% of those surveyed said they or a family member experienced an unacceptable amount of time on a hospital trolley awaiting a bed. 

Eight out of 10 people are concerned that they may have been misdiagnosed by the HSE due to the current staffing crisis, a new survey has found.

More than 900 people were waiting on trolleys for a hospital bed earlier this month, while doctors and nurses are often working longer than they are required to try and lift some of the pressure on the health service.
