FULL CAPACITY PROTOCOL STOOD DOWN AT UHG

Date Published: 27-Apr-2012

The emergency measure which has been in place at UHG's casualty department for the last 12 days has been stood down

The overcrowding measure is activated by senior management and acts as an alert to the county health system

While the HSE has confirmed to Galway Bay fm news that the full capacity protocol has been stood down it will not say how many people are still on trollies this evening

However the standing down means the numbers waiting on trollies are now at non crisis levels
