A new report has found that the pressure on intensive care units is significant and there are not enough of these beds to meet demand.
The Irish National ICU Audit, which covers 2022, said that expanding capacity to ensure timely admissions and discharges is critical to improve patient outcomes.
It said this is low compared to international standards, with the UK having 7.3 beds and the OECD average of around 12 beds for every 100,000 people.
