266 Patients On Trolleys In Naas General Hospital In November

November figures from the INMO were released today

266 patients were on trolleys in Naas General Hospital, according to the Irish Nurses and Midwives Organisation November trolley report.

This is a decrease of patients on trolleys from the 2022 November report, where 286 patients were on trolleys in Naas General Hospital. 

Overall, 11,493 people, including 434 children, went without a bed in hospitals in November.

Figures from the INMO show University Hospital Limerick was the worst affected by overcrowding this month.

1,962 patients were waiting on trolleys at the facility, which is followed by Cork University Hospital and Sligo University Hospital.

The INMO says the number of people admitted to hospital without a bed is "far too high" and there's "absolutely no point in waiting until we are mid-crisis to act."
