More than 256 patients spent time on trolleys during August, up from 202 during the same period last year.

Our members have raised this issue as a serious breach of human dignity which impacts on the potential recovery and indeed the treatment of the issues causing people to attend emergency departments in the first place," said INMO General Secretary Phil Ní Sheaghdha.
