Thousands of patients in Greater Manchester were stuck waiting in ambulances outside hospitals last year
Thousands of patients were waiting in ambulances parked outside hospitals across Greater Manchester last year, a new report has revealed. Over a 10-month period, 6,688 patients were stuck in ambulances outside hospitals.
Around a third of these patients were waiting to be handed over to hospital staff in Manchester – although some waited within the A&E department itself. It comes as the NHS struggles to keep up with demand this winter as it tries to recover from the impact the pandemic had on health and social care services.
"In adversity, we've started to look at safety and we've actually brought in processes to ensure that our paramedics have got as many tools as they possibly can have given their limited experience to manage those patients in that timeframe."
