Sligo University Hospital was the third most overcrowded hospital in the country for the month of November.
Sligo was only surpassed by Limerick and Cork University Hospitals, according to figures released today by the INMO.
A total of 804 patients waited for a bed at Sligo University Hospital this month.
It’s an increase of 21 on last year’s figure of 783.
In a statement INMO General Secretary Phil Ni Sheaghdha warned there is absolutely no point in waiting until we are mid-crisis to act.
The INMO is calling for the curtailment of non-urgent elective activity and to ensure that private hospitals are available to assist.
