Irish hospitals struggle with 761 trolley waits as healthcare workers demand emergency action.

Hospitals across Ireland are grappling with severe overcrowding, with 761 patients waiting on trolleys on Monday. The Irish Nurses and Midwives Organisation (INMO) criticizes the Health Service Executive for a lack of preparedness, especially during a respiratory illness outbreak. The INMO calls for an emergency national plan to address the issue, which has led to extended waiting times and poor working conditions for healthcare professionals. In Northern Ireland, around 400 people faced 12-hour waits for hospital beds.
