Deputy Healy-Rae cited patient trolley numbers, staff departures and ambulance wait times.

He's echoed calls for an external review into why nurses are leaving UHK in high numbers.

Danny Healy-Rae says urgent action is needed to prevent people from dying unnecessarily and to allow elective procedures to be carried out.
