Patient calls for Kenny and Reilly to visit overcrowded A&E

A patient recovering from a brain haemorrhage, who had to spend hours on a hospital trolley in a corridor, has called on Taoiseach Enda Kenny and Minister for Health James Reilly to visit the overcrowded accident and emergency department.

Earlier this week, 29 patients were on trolleys in the A&E area at South Tipperary General Hospital in Clonmel and, as well as being placed in ward corridors, some were also put on trolleys in general hospital corridors – in the case of Declan McGee (43), beside a number of vending machines.
