Arrowe Park Hospital is "doomed for the winter"

Available for over a year

A hospital is "doomed for the winter" and already at "breaking point" trying to meet patient demands, a paramedic has told the Âé¶¹Éç. The North West Ambulance Service (NWAS) worker, who spoke to the Âé¶¹Éç anonymously, said the corridors at Arrowe Park Hospital, Wirral, were regularly overflowing with patients as well as some being left in ambulances for up to 10 hours. The NHS trust that runs the hospital said there had been a "significant increase" in ambulance attendances but "systems were in place to prioritise patient safety".
