There's been a modest drop in trolley numbers.
The government is under fire for "clapping itself on the back" for very modest improvements in trolley figures.
The Health Minister says there's been a 10% reduction in the daily 8am trolley count, despite an increase in emergency department presentations.
Only 6 people in the Midlands are on ED trolleys this morning, with 5 in Mullingar and one in Portlaoise.
Jennifer Carroll MacNeill says progress has been made, with a quarter fewer patients on trolleys following the St. Brigid’s Bank Holiday weekend.
Sinn Féin's Health Spokesperson David Cullinane says it's not much to shout about:
