Limerick Hospital Overwhelmed by Bed Shortage | Limerick News

from Limerick News Today | 2 Min News | The Daily News Now!

University Hospital Limerick is in crisis, with 877 patients stuck on trolleys over just two weeks—making it the most overcrowded hospital in Ireland. While other hospitals like Cork and Sligo saw hundreds of patients waiting, Waterford managed with just eight. The HSE blames a systemic shortage of beds across the Midwest, not poor management, with independent reports confirming the region simply doesn’t have enough capacity. Fixing this will require serious, sustained investment to bring healthcare infrastructure up to national standards.
