122,879 people were without hospital beds in 2023, according to new figures from Irish Nurses' and Midwives' Organisation.
The figures also reveal that 3,494 children were admitted to hospital during last year without a bed.
Over 3,300 patients were on trolleys in the midlands hospitals in 2023, a decrease of over 2,500 on the year prior.
The INMO says staffing and resources are just not adequate to meet the growing demand for hospital services.
