Nurses call for emergency period as UHG trolley figure hits almost 700 in February

Galway Bay fm newsroom - The Irish Nurses and Midwives organisation is calling for the first two weeks of March to be declared an emergency period.

Almost 700 patients spent time waiting on trolleys at UHG during February.
