UHL Overcrowded: Fire Safety Alert | Cork News
Description
Limerick’s University Hospital is in crisis, with over 130 patients waiting on trolleys and chairs — the most overcrowded hospital in Ireland. Nearly half of all patients nationwide stuck over 24 hours for a bed are at UHL, made worse by holiday weekend pressures. A local councillor has demanded an urgent fire safety inspection to protect patients and staff, while nurses warn conditions are becoming dangerously unsustainable. The HSE is monitoring the situation closely, but immediate action is needed to ensure patient safety and restore care standards.
