Have you had your treatment delayed?

Of the 15,736 people who attended West Hertfordshire Teaching Hospitals NHS Trust's emergency departments in March, 68% of arrivals were seen within four hours, against an NHS target of 95%.

NHS England figures show there was a rise of 15% on the 13,701 visits recorded during February, and 1% more than the 15,533 patients seen in March 2022. The majority of attendances last month were via major A&E departments – those with full resuscitation equipment and 24-hour consultant-led care – while 48% were via minor injury units.Best bakeries in and around Watford according to Tripadvisor“Discharge delays for patients who might be waiting for packages of care in the community and the need to minimise infectious diseases such as flu and Covid can lead to longer than expected delays in our emergency department.

They added: “Our redevelopment plans include an emergency department that is nearly twice the size with much bigger assessment areas and faster access to diagnostic equipment and this will be a great help in reducing waiting times.”That was an increase of 13% compared to February, but a similar number as seen during March 2022.
