Overcrowding at Irish hospitals continues to hit record highs, as over 700 people were waiting for a bed this morning




Overcrowding at Irish hospitals continues to hit record highs, as over 700 people were waiting for a bed this morning.

Official figures show that 704 people were languishing on trolleys as of this morning, with University Hospital Limerick leading the shameful charge with a massive 105 people waiting for beds. Most people are likely to never get a bed and will simply either die on the trolley or hobble away back home as best they can having never been seen by medical staff 36 or 48h on after arrival.

The Minister for Health is yet to address the ongoing catastrophe but he’s suspected of still collecting his salary every month.
