Staff at Letterkenny University Hospital requested not to ask patients to lie on floor

The Irish Times in a report are claiming that staff at Letterkenny University Hospital have been instructed not to leave patients lying on the floor of its Emergency Department.

It’s after a man suffered injuries and was made to lie on the floor of the hospital’s emergency department because there was not a bed or trolley to place him on.

The report claims that the man had fainted due to falling out of his chair, and was placed on the floor.
