The INMO is worried about the impact staff shortages are having on nurses and people requiring care.

The Irish Nurses and Midwives Organisation has called for non-urgent procedures at Galway University Hospital to be cancelled immediately.

The hospital is experiencing its highest level of overcrowding since 2019, with 70 patients waiting on a bed.

A rising number of patients with Covid-19 at the facility is also increasing pressure on staff.
