The Irish Nurses and Midwives Organisation (INMO) plans to engage with members about the potential for industrial action as trolley numbers surpass 600.

Just two weeks into November, today's figures show that there are 621 patients waiting for beds. This figure includes 24 children under the age of 16 who are waiting on trolleys in emergency departments in Dublin.
