An elderly man with a serious heart condition is currently waiting on a trolley on a busy corridor in University Hospital Galway since Sunday lunchtime. Speaking from his trolley to the Irish Examiner, Mr Madden described his condition as “very serious”. He said:“The place is terribly noisy, it is hard to hear you, but I was admitted on Sunday lunchtime. My condition is serious or otherwise, I would not be here. Mr Canney is understood to have made inquiries with the hospital and was told a bed has been promised but has yet to be delivered.
