Seven ambulances pictured outside Bolton A&E as trust warns of 'extremely long waits'
Seven ambulances were pictured waiting outside Royal Bolton Hospitals' A&E department on Monday evening , just hours after the trust warned of 'extremely long waits' for non-urgent patients and urged people to 'think twice' before attending.
Tyrone Roberts, chief nurse at the Royal Bolton Hospital said: “We are experiencing significant demand and demand over and above what we have usually experienced when we have said we are feeling challenged. We of course are here to help those who absolutely need us, and we wouldn’t anyone to stay away who does need the services of A&E.
"The number of people attending our Emergency Department is really high and we are working through everyone who needs our help as soon as we possibly can. People who do not have an urgent need will experience extremely long waits while we treat the people who need us the most." In a tweet on Monday, Wrightington, Wigan and Leigh NHS Foundation Trust said: "We are currently experiencing exceptionally long waits in our A&E department and urge you to access it appropriately. Use NHS 111 online or by phone to determine the most appropriate place for your health needs. Help us help you – please share!"
