There are 22 people waiting for a hospital bed at the hospital this morning according to the Irish Nurses and Midwives Organisation.
Just five of those are waiting on trolleys in the emergency department with a further 17 in the overflow areas of wards.
In Sligo University Hospital there are three people waiting for a bed.
Today's Trolley Watch report shows there are 439 people waiting for a bed in hospitals nationwide.
University Hospital Limerick is the worse affected today with 44 people waiting for a bed.
Betty Holmes of the Donegal Action for Cancer Care campaign group says it's time for the minister to recognise the problem at Letterkenny Hospital
