150 patients on trolleys at UHL in 'worst day for hospital overcrowding' since 2006

In total, 710 patients are waiting for beds across the country

The INMO has now called for measures to be put in place in the hospital to improve patient flow.

University Hospital Limerick (UHL) has recorded "the worst day" for overcrowding in any Irish hospital, the Irish Nurses and Midwives Organisation has said.

There are 150 patients without a hospital bed at UHL, which the INMO says makes it "the worst day for hospital overcrowding in any Irish hospital since the union began counting trolleys in 2006".
