New figures from the Irish Nurses and Midwives Organisation show continuing pressure at Naas General Hospital.

New figures from the Irish Nurses and Midwives Organisation show continuing pressure at Naas General Hospital.
More than 256 patients spent time on trolleys during August, up from 202 during the same period last year.
"The number of patients cared for on trolleys and the length of time spent on trolleys, particularly older people, has been a cause of concern this summer. 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.
