Emergency Department Taskforce to meet on Monday over trolley crisis
It’s one of the measures announced after a meeting between the HSE and the Irish Nurses and Midwives Organisation.
Figures on trolleys fell from a high of 677 on Wednesday, to 483 this morning, but according to HSE figures which don't include patients on wards, the numbers are still 14 percent higher than the same day last year.
INMO General Secretary Phil Ni Sheaghdha says the meeting with the HSE was productive.
