The INMO is warning a "winter chaos" is on the way as the number of people waiting on trolleys in Irish hospitals continues to rise.

The latest Trolleywatch figures have shown that nationally 596 patients are without a bed this morning.

That's up from 558 patients yesterday and 413 last Friday.

INMO General Secretary Phil Ni Sheaghdha (Nee Hay) says we are "sleepwalking into another winter crisis" unless action is taken.
