Episode Details

Doctors at University Hospital Limerick sound the alarm on unacceptable risks to patient care due to long-standing failure to provide adequate acute hospital capacity in the midwest region. The medical board urges the health minister to act swiftly, requesting a new development board, emergency funding, lifted recruitment limits, and more beds. The hospital remains one of the most overcrowded, with patients facing longer waits and traveling farther for care. The midwest region is the least staffed, yet University Hospital Limerick handles more acute cases than any other Irish hospital. The situation is dire, with staff battling daily risks and patients lives at stake.
