INMO urging the HSE to resolve overcrowding.

INMO ag áiteamh ar an HSE an ró-phlódú a réiteach.

The INMO wants the HSE to put forward new proposals for dealing with overcrowding in hospitals.

Teastaíonn ón INMO go gcuirfeadh an HSE moltaí nua chun cinn maidir le déileáil le ró-phlódú sna hospidéil.

Today is World Patient Safety Day.

Is é inniu Lá Domhanda Shábháilteacht na n-Othar.

The INMO says up to 366 patients had a long wait for a bed according to Friday's figures.

Deir an INMO go raibh fanacht fada ar leaba ag suas le 366 othar de réir fhigiúirí na hAoine.

The INMO also showed that 252 patients were waiting in the emergency departments and another 114 in other wards in the hospitals.

Léirigh an INMO freisin go raibh 252 othar ag fanacht sna ranna éigeandála agus 114 eile i bhárdaí eile sna hospidéil.

The association says this wait often has a negative impact on the patient's long-term health.

Deir an cumann go mbíonn droch-thionchar go minic ag an bhfanacht seo ar shláinte fhadtéarmach an othair.
