Scandalous: 78 children left waiting on trolleys in May as over 9,000 people were left waiting on a bed




New figures have shown that a total of 78 children were scandalously left waiting on trolleys in the month of May.

According to the figures published by the Irish Nurses and Midwives Organisation, there were a total of 9,015 patients left waiting on a bed across the country last month.

The latest figures have once again drawn further criticism as University Hospital Limerick and Tipperary General recorded their worst ever month for overcrowding.
