The annual report from the Irish Nurses and Midwives Organisation was released today
3,096 patients were admitted to Naas General Hospital without a bed in 2024, according to the latest annual report from the Irish Nurses and Midwives Organisation.
This is a slight decrease compared to the 3,348 patients treated on trolleys in the hospital in 2023.
Nationally, 122,186 patients, including 2043 children, were admitted to hospital without a bed this year.
INMO General Secretary Phil Ní Sheaghdha said:
“We have reached the end of yet another year that has seen an unacceptable number of patients on trolleys. Nurses, midwives and other healthcare professionals should not have to bear the brunt of public anger due to poor planning and lack of capacity in the health service year in, year out".
Earlier this month, it was reported by Kfm that the majority of patients who took part in a nationwide hospital survey had a positive experience at Naas General Hospital.
However, common concerns included long waiting times in the emergency department, with some patients waiting over six hours to be admitted.
Areas such as timely response to patient needs and food quality saw mixed reviews.
