A surge in circulating influenza has produced unprecedented paediatric caseloads, driving record numbers of children into hospital. Children’s Health Ireland has entered crisis mode to manage the influx and rising admissions. The paediatric hospital group convened two crisis meetings on Friday to free or create additional bed space to accommodate sick children. Clinicians and doctors are issuing warnings that the current wave may worsen, indicating that further pressures on hospital capacity and paediatric services are expected in the near term.
