Overcrowding at University Hospital Limerick is 'out of control'

The INMO has called for direct ministerial intervention to tackle the issue

It comes as the union released the latest trolley figures, which found 70 patients were waiting for beds in the Limerick hospital.

Calls have been made for an independent review into the "out of control" overcrowding at University Hospital Limerick (UHL).

The Irish Nurses and Midwives Organisation (INMO) has said that direct ministerial intervention is needed to tackle the problem.
