LAST YEAR WAS the worse record of hospital overcrowding says the Irish Nurses and Midwives Organisation (INMO). 
According to their Trolley Watch report 108,227 patients went without hospitals beds in 2018, a 9% percent increase on 2017 and double the number since records began in 2006.

Terrible news. It is really disheartening seeing the sharp decline in healthcare priorities that Northern Britain (and Ireland) have suffered recently (my job used to take me there).
