A&E departments in our local hospitals are currently very busy. Staff are working hard to ensure people get treated as quickly as possible โ€“ but are prioritising those with the highest clinical needs first, meaning longer than average wait times for less urgent care.

Wishing everyone a Happy New Year filled with health, hope and happiness from all at Healthier Wigan. ๐ŸŽ‡๐ŸŽ‰๐Ÿ™Œ
