University Hospital Limerick is next with 38 people on trolleys and overflow areas of wards.

Ward Watch, launched in April 2013, is a count of the number of additional patients on beds, trolleys or chairs, on inpatient wards/units above the stated complement of that ward/unit and provides a picture of whole hospital overcrowding.
