Welcome to Ireland 2019: A total of 631 languished on trolleys around the country yesterday




It’s getting quite unbearable at this stage.

The Minister for Health Simon Harris appears like he couldn’t care less what happens to the Irish health care system or its patients.

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 waited for a bed, while languishing either on trolleys, chairs, or other makeshift accommodation yesterday.

University Hospital Limerick tops the list once again, followed by Sligo and Cork.

What do you think about the current and past ministers for health, and their inability/unwillingness to do anything about hospital overcrowding? Let us know in the comments below.
