Measures agreed with the hospital to reduce trolley waiting times include the opening of 28 low-acuity or non-acute beds at Our Lady’s Hospital in Navan and Louth County Hospital in Dundalk, as well as eight medical beds in Drogheda itself.
Five Dublin hospitals – Tallaght, the Mater, Beaumont, St Vincent’s and Loughlinstown – as well as Cork University Hospital and Galway University Hospital are the other main offenders.
