    The Irish Nurses Organisation says that the number of patients on trolleys at Our Lady of Lourdes Hospital in Drogheda has reached a record high.
    The INO claims that 40 people are waiting for in-patient beds, 15 of whom have been on trolleys since Friday night.
    The patients are being cared for in the Emergency Department, Out-patients Department and in corridors.
    The INO also says that ambulances are being delayed at the hospital due to a shortage of trolleys.

    I will, I'll thank Dermot too. An utter disgrace, they should hang their heads in shame.

    The biggest joke is that services were closed in the other notheast hospitals over the years and transferred to OLOH, and the latest intention is to close A+E's in the region and transfer them to OLOH too! How hilarious ;)!!!

    Meanwhile the Louth County had 18 empty beds and was in the midst of the winter vomiting bug.
