A Dublin hospital had the third highest number of drug-related emergencies across 20 major hospitals in 14 European countries over the last two years.
Research conducted by the EU drugs agency shows the Mater Hospital had 1,083 such presentations to its emergency department between 2013 and 2015.
There were 526 cases between October 2013 and September 2014 and 557 between October 2014 and September 2015. It placed the Dublin hospital behind Oslo Emergency Outpatient Clinic and London St Thomas’ Hospital, but ahead of London King’s College Hospital and hospitals in Paris, Basel, Munich, Barcelona, and Copenhagen.
