Not swamped, but patients still waiting for beds
United Lincolnshire Hospitals Trust chief executive Andrew Morgan has said he is “reasonably confident” the trust will come out of its critical incident state when a review takes place later on Thursday.
The trust put in “significant mitigation measures” including focusing staff on rapid ambulance handovers and beefing up senior decision making in A&Es. “We’re still in critical incident but we’re going to review that towards the end of the day. We’re in a relatively good position, there are more ambulances than yesterday but we’ve not been swamped with that.”
Mr Morgan added that the trust’s “Breaking the Cycle” scheme, which aims to improve patient discharge speed in order to create knock on space all the way back to the entrance, had also held up.
