January 4th 2024 10pm ….waiting time in A&E 16 hours and 113 patients waiting. difficult for both the staff and patients.
The statistics show how much pressure there is on our A&E on a daily basis ,and yet in the first four days of the New Year 2024 there has been planning for over 550 new homes in the city. This is in addition to those already under construction but yet to be occupied. Each application ignores the effect on our hospital. Planning conditions include ,green space , signalling light system at Stansty and Forge level crossings at £120,000, road improvements, but no mention of money for our hospital. The old tax office development for Out Patient use by patients at the Maelor Hospital is as yet unfinished because of lack of money so there is an opportunity for developers to fund.
There is a saturation point between building new houses and health provision and we must be very close to it already before these new developments begin.
Made me think that maybe some people go to A&E when it’s not a true emergency.
Think we all should be extremely grateful to all the staff working in A&E not just over Christmas and New Year, but through out the year. They have no idea what they are going to face each day or even how many colleagues they will have to work beside them. A&E is nothing with out the doctors and nurses . Use it wisely and only when you really need it and don’t forget curtesy costs nothing. Thank you all, the public appreciates all you do under the most difficult circumstances at times.
Well that’s interesting it’s 8pm on Christmas Eve and there are only 35 people in A&E. Haven’t seen a number that low before.
This is almost 10 years ago, some of the current ruling independents , were Labour then.
This LDP was started back in 2010 under a previous Chief Executive, and Leader of the Council and before the Labour Party split when some resigned from the party. So its based on economic factors 13 years out of date. A 2021 Census that showed many of the assumptions held 2010 are proving wrong. This LDP is only going to be in use for a short time before the next one will be under construction. This mess is over a decade in the making, those with long memories will know Labour was in power in Wrexham then and had been for decades.
Thursday December 14th mid day and waiting time down to 1 hour 45 minutes. Have noticed in previous weeks waiting times seem less on a Thursday. Is there a specific reason why ?
Baroness Morgan said waiting well is not only about clearing the backlog: “It’s also about optimising the chance of that patient getting a better outcome.”
Baroness Morgan is not in the real world, people who are ill , like cancer patients, need treatment sooner not later to achieve the best outcome. Those waiting for knee and hip operations will tell her there is no waiting well because of the pain.
Friday December 8th , 12 ambulances waiting outside A&E at the Wrexham Maelor at 10.30 am. That’s 12 ambulances not available to answer life threatening emergencies in the community. People will be dying as a consequence of this.
Current live data Wrexham Mwelor Hospital..Tuesday 12 noon …..64 patients, 6 hours 45 minutes in the department.
Done a mid day one today, similar number of patient in department, and waiting time still well over the 4 hour target. Is that still the target in Wales?
