, and equally as a system this allows those ambulances to get back on the road, to pick up those patients in our communities who are waiting too long on occasion.”Chief Operating Officer Simon Evans said there was a “potential for patients to have a poorer experience because they move out of a bed space earlier than they do now and they might have to wait in a chair in a ward environment for longer.
However, he said: “Overall, this is a much better experience for all of our patients because the consequence of not doing it is that a patient may wait for a prolonged period of time in an emergency department without the specialist team that they require.”MyLocal Lincolnshire
