Trolley shame: Number of people suffering on trolleys across Irish hospitals surges to 527




The scourge of trolley-bound patients across Irish hospitals continues unabated today, with 527 souls languishing on makeshift accommodation while waiting for treatment.

The number increased from 417 yesterday.

Even HSE chief Tony O’Brien recently acknowledged that the organization is no longer fit for purpose, and that a recapitalization to the tune of 9bn would be required to overhaul the entire system.

Meanwhile, bumbling Minister for Health Simon Harris is buried under a quagmire of criticism due to his blatant inability to solve the crisis.
