Pressure is set to rise even more with impending strikes over the coming days, NHS chiefs warn
Demand on the NHS continues to be sky-high - with 97 per cent of all Greater Manchester hospital beds taken. It comes amid warnings that pressure will rise yet again with the onset of more industrial action over the coming days.
On January 6, hospital bed occupancy was 98pc, with 12pc of beds occupied with Covid-positive patients. There were also 384 people in ‘general and acute’ hospital beds with flu and 17 in ‘critical care’ beds. In Greater Manchester, there are approximately 5,000 beds across the hospitals, meaning around only around 100 beds were left across the entire region.
Greater Manchester NHS leaders are also warning about upcoming strike action, encouraging people to get Covid and flu jabs to prevent deterioration from the illnesses which has been resulting in hospital admittances for many people. "There are 157 people in ‘general and acute’ hospital beds with flu and 20 in ‘critical care’ beds. As of 23 January 2023, there were 814 people medically fit for discharge in hospital. On 23 January 2023, there were 181 admissions to hospital and 138 discharges from hospital."
