The families of patients being treated at Ireland’s overrun A&Es said: “There are trolleys everywhere.”
One man, who was visiting his partner in St Vincent’s Hospital, Dublin, said: “She was given a cubicle in the A&E Department and has been there for hours. It’s very bad in there. There are trolleys and people waiting everywhere. It’s crazy.”
Another man said he wasn’t allowed in to see his 87-year-old mum and was struggling to get an update on her condition. He told us: “I wasn’t allowed in. I was told to wait which I did for about 45 minutes but then I was told ‘no’. We can’t get any updates about how good or how bad she is doing. You basically have no clue how the people in there are doing.”
