21 people are currently on trolleys at Cavan General Hospital this morning. According to figures released from the INMO, the number of people on trolleys at the local hospital has increased from a total of 16 yesterday.
As a result of the escalation, Cavan and Monaghan Hospital has advised locals that the emergency department is currently experiencing significantly high levels of activity, with delays and limited bed capacity expected at present.
Cavan and Monaghan Hospital is still providing full emergency care if required, however, the advice to patients and their doctors at present is that if any alternatives to an emergency department referral are available then they should be explored as a priority.
