It’s busy again at St Luke’s Hospital as we head into the weekend.
The daily report from the Irish Nurses and Midwives Organisation (INMO) shows there are 34 patients waiting on a bed this morning – 22 of them in the emergency department for Carlow and Kilkenny.
It’s the highest number of people without a resting spot in the South East – five at Tipperary University Hospital, four at University Hospital Waterford, and one at Wexford General.
They’re among 335 in such a position in Irish hospitals across the country.
