Delays are still a critical issue for local hospitals
New data has revealed that more than 1,500 people were left waiting over 12 hours to be admitted into Lincolnshire hospitals last month.
According to new figures from NHS England, 1,814 people were forced to wait over four hours to be seen by staff, while 721 were left waiting over half a day. Overall, the Northern Lincolnshire and Goole NHS Foundation Trust had the eleventh worst performance figures in March for the proportion of people seen within four hours.Chief executive of NLAG, Dr Peter Reading, apologised to those who faced a long wait as he said his emergency department continues to be “extremely busy” with many patients also requiring hospital admission.
“We continue to work with our partners across the health and social care network to improve discharges to social and community care, releasing beds in our hospitals for patients being admitted through our EDs. We do ensure that those patients who do need to be admitted are well-cared for by our nursing teams while they are waiting and that our specialist clinicians carry out regular reviews to ensure the best possible treatment plan is in place.
