Episode Details

Cork’s hospitals are drowning under waitlists—with over 84,000 people stuck, including nearly 10,000 kids—and a shocking 1,000 treated without beds. Wait times have worsened by nearly 5% since last year, with South Infirmary Victoria alone holding almost 40,000. The real problem? Not staff shortages, but a crushing lack of step-down facilities, trapping patients in full wards. Politicians are demanding legal targets for care and ending hiring freezes to fix the system before it breaks.
