Some 17 people were on trolleys in Naas General Hospital as of 8am this morning.

According to today's INMO trolley watch figures, 14 people were on trolleys in the Emergency Department, while three were waiting on trolleys elsewhere in the hospital.

554 admitted patients were waiting for beds this morning across the country, 458 patients are waiting in the emergency department, while 96 are in wards elsewhere in the hospital.

University Hospital Limerick, 53 and Cork University Hospital, 56 are two of the worst impacted hospitals today.

Last week, Naas General Hospital advised patients with non-emergency conditions, to where possible seek assistance from other parts of the health service such as their local Pharmacist or GP.

However, the hospital urges patients who have a serious health emergency not to delay in seeking medical attention and to dial 999 or 112 in an emergency or if you suspect you are having a heart attack or stroke.
