Summary
July hit a grim milestone as over 10,000 patients nationwide were stuck on trolleys—most severely at University Hospital Limerick with 2,000+ patients, followed by UHG in Galway with nearly 1,000. While UHG’s numbers dropped 25% from last year, Portiuncula Hospital in Ballinasloe stood out with just 11 patients on trolleys. The INMO is sounding the alarm, calling this the first July ever to exceed 10,000 patients without beds—a stark warning as winter looms, signaling urgent action needed to prevent a healthcare crisis.
