The latest figures released by the Irish Nurses and Midwives Organisation (INMO) starkly show that hospital overcrowding keeps getting steadily worse.
A total of 631 people across the country are waiting for a bed, while languishing either on trolleys, chairs, or other makeshift accommodation.
University Hospital Limerick tops the list once again, followed by Sligo and Cork.
Hapless Minister for Health Simon Harris, who’s still reeling from the cervical check and the new children hospital debacles, has yet to make a statement.
