Far too many patients on trolleys

In November there were 9,679 patients on trolleys in Ireland.

This is an increase of 11per cent on November 2017.

Figures supplied by INMO.

 According to a report in The Irish Times on Saturday there is a €655 million hole in the State's health budget. 

 This is due to overspending, increased GP and legal costs, and a failure to achieve €15 million in savings.
