Many questions remain around failures in paediatric orthopaedic services in CHI. Another healthcare scandal featuring a lack of accountability, communication with patients & their families, & willingness to proactively investigate parent & whistleblower concerns.

New @INMO_IRL figures show that 793 patients were being treated on trolleys, chairs & other 'inappropriate bed spaces' today, awaiting hospital admission. 111 patients in UHL alone. INMO say these "unsafe patient and staff conditions in hospitals warrant [an] urgent response".

More potential industrial action looms for the health service. SIPTU members have today commenced a ballot for strike action in 21 Section 39 orgs across the country as part of long-running dispute over pay for staff who assist and care for vulnerable people in communities.

Two trade unions, @INMO_IRL & @forsa_union_ie, representing more than 72,000 healthcare workers have voted overwhelmingly in favour of industrial action over suppression & non-filling of vacant HSE posts. This follows same by members of @ConnectUnion, Unite & @MedLabAssoc.

Almost 700 (695) patients across the country are waiting for admission in our acute hospitals today, according to @INMO_IRL. Yet no media coverage... As usual, University Hospital Limerick is worst affected with 104 patients waiting on a bed. #trollies #HSE
