Trolley Crisis Could Get Worse - HSE Executive

The HSE's Director for Emergency Management has warned we could see a return to the record level of overcrowding witnessed in hospitals last week.

Around 300 patients are on trolleys this afternoon - down from a peak of over 600 on Tuesday. Health Minister Simon Harris has said he is sorry for what Irish people are experiencing in the health service - while the HSE announced a range of initiatives to resolve the crisis.
