Overcrowding at Irish hospitals continues to hit record highs, as over 600 people are waiting for a bed today




Overcrowding at Irish hospitals continues to hit record highs, as over 600 people are waiting for a bed today.

Official figures show that 635 people were languishing on trolleys as of this morning, with Cork University Hospital (CUH) leading the shameful charge with a massive 90 people waiting for beds.

The Minister for Health is yet to address the ongoing crisis.
