A Clare healthcare campaigner claims giving more ambulances to this county will only lead to more congestion and overcrowding at University Hospital Limerick. The National Ambulance Service has confirmed the addition of five extra ambulances and 27 staff to its services here. Data from the Irish Nurses and Midwives Organisation meanwhile shows 121 admitted patients were waiting for beds at the Dooradoyle facility this morning which was more than double the next busiest facility; St Vincent's Hospital in Dublin.
