🔵Critical incident stood down at NUH, but pressures remain 🔵

This morning, we stood down the Critical Incident that was declared on Tuesday due to the severe and sustained pressure on our hospitals.

Although pressures have eased, we remain at our highest escalation level short of declaring a Critical Incident. Our hospitals remain busy.

While numbers are lower, patients are still experiencing long waits in A&E, and demand for beds remains extremely high. Many wards continue to care for more patients than usual.

Please continue to help by only using A&E for emergencies or serious accidents. For all other health concerns, please call 111 first so you can be directed to the most appropriate service.

We again want to apologise to those who have been impacted by the pressures and thank our communities for their ongoing support. We would also like to thank our colleagues, whose response throughout this Critical Incident has been remarkable.
