A spokesperson for Harris said he will raise the issue of a “significant discrepancy” between both parties’ figures at a previously planned meeting tomorrow. “There is a significant discrepancy between HSE and INMO figures in Limerick today. HSE figures show there are 39 people on trolleys in Limerick. The minister intends to raise this as an issue. “In terms of capacity, a 60-bed modular unit has been funded in Limerick and works are now uderway,” she added.
“This comes less than a week after a 17-bed ward in UHL was shut. The beds that have been closed in UHL need to be reopened immediately,” Mary Fogarty, INMO Industrial Relations officer said. “When they first opened a new emergency department in Limerick, it was predicted at the time that there would not be enough beds or staff to cope with what would come in,” he said.
