The INMO has described the high levels of overcrowding as "concerning"

10,538 patients, including 273 children, went without a bed in hospitals nationwide in October.

The INMO has described the high levels of overcrowding as "concerning" and adds there's "acute pressure along the western seaboard."

557 patients are on trolleys in hospitals around the country today, including 20 at Naas General, and the INMO says the system needs to get a grip on the out of control levels of overcrowding that occur following public holidays.
