57 people died in one month
A&E deaths in Nottingham hospitals doubled at the height of NHS winter crisis in December, an exclusive investigation has found. Accident and Emergency wards were at breaking point in December 2022.
In a statement responding to the figures, a spokesperson for Nottingham University Hospitals Trust said that December was the busiest month on record for A&Es across the country - with NUH also experiencing this. Keith Girling, Nottingham University Hospital’s Medical Director added: “This winter saw a record number of people using urgent and emergency care, with both Covid-19 and flu circulating within our communities, which added to general winter illness pressures.
Because of the continued pain being suffered by Mrs Hargreaves, she attended the QMC's A&E department twice after her hospital visit. But on both occasions, she waited for around 12 hours without being seen. Nationally, a record low of just 65 percent of patients were seen within four hours of arrival, compared to the target of 95 percent. Meanwhile, a record high of 54,532 patients had to wait over 12 hours for admission.
