Listening to Tributes to Gay Byrne and how Ireland has changed since Gay First Broadcast the Late Late Show and all the Good the Show did .What would Byrne of said about ,Hospitals that suffered their worst overcrowding of the year yesterday are now also being hit by a "bed-blocking" crisis.
The number of patients on trolleys soared to 679 yesterday, the worst figure this year and the second-highest ever.
But as hundreds of people waited for hours on trolleys to be admitted to a ward bed, an even higher volume of patients who no longer needed hospital care could not leave because of a lack of suitable step-down care.
The HSE confirmed that 684 of these patients who require transfer from the hospital to their home, nursing home or rehab were in beds.
