Two new hospitals for the mid west and immediate additional beds were promised to alleviate overcrowding at University Hospital Limerick. The measures target persistent overcrowding and an ongoing trolley crisis that reduce patient flow, bed availability, and emergency department capacity. The commitments aim to increase inpatient capacity promptly while expanding regional hospital infrastructure over the longer term. Health Information and Quality Authority (Hiqa) examined the hospital's overcrowding and trolley use, prompting capacity and infrastructure responses prioritizing reduced wait times and improved patient safety and care delivery.
