Limerick's emergency department is overwhelmed, with over 350 patients in 24 hours and 103 on trolleys due to bed shortages.
University Hospital Limerick's emergency department is overwhelmed, with over 350 patients arriving in 24 hours—half without GP referrals—leading to 103 patients waiting on trolleys due to bed shortages.
Despite a new 96-bed unit, the hospital remains the most crowded in Ireland, prompting urgent appeals for the public to use alternatives like walk-in clinics, pharmacies, family doctors, and the 24-hour Shannondoc service for non-emergencies.
The HSE emphasizes that emergency care should be reserved for life-threatening cases, as delays are expected for less urgent conditions.
