Trolley crisis: January 2018 was the worst month ever in terms of overcrowding figures




The trolley crisis continues to increase across Irish hospitals.

Official figures just released indicate that January 2018 was the worst month on record, in terms or overcrowding, with a total of 12,201 people recorded as languishing on trolleys for hours or days on end.

This shameful figure represents an 18% increase on the same month last year.

The issue has so far fallen on deaf Government ears, as nothing has been done to palliate the crisis.
