Hospital Overcrowding
Dail Éireann — 2021-10-19
============================================================

Kieran O'Donnell (FG), Limerick City

There is an average of about 48 Covid-19 patients in University Hospital Limerick at the moment.
That is contributing to the number of people on trolleys in University Hospital Limerick, with more than 70 on average. Money has been put aside to reduce waiting lists in the budget, with more than €50 million available. Will the Minister look at expediting the waiting time at University Hospital Limerick?
