Galway Bay fm newsroom - A Galway TD says the record trolley figures reported in recent days are a damning indictment of Fine Gael's failure to tackle the overcrowding crisis.
Deputy Eamon O' Cuiv claims the party has reneged on its assurances that the 'Winter Initiative' would be able to deal with projected increases.
He claims the problem is now worse than ever with record breaking numbers of patients waiting on trolleys.
The Fianna Fail Deputy says almost 6,600 patients were treated on trolleys at UHG last year - a significant jump on the 5,800 people in 2016.

Fianna Fail Deputy O Cuiv says the situation is nothing short of scandalous and Fine Gael has failed to take the necessary action.
