Ten ambulances queue outside Greater Manchester hospital - as heatwave could fuel rise in excess deaths
Ten ambulances were spotted queueing outside a Greater Manchester A&E on the hottest day on record. Photos show ambulances waiting in line at Royal Oldham Hospital yesterday, while another eight vehicles queued for Fairfield General Hospital.
Mr Regan said: “The UK Health Security Agency will assess the impacts of not just the last few days but, as we know from the experience in France in 2003, prolonged periods of high temperatures can result in significant excess deaths just as bad winters result in excess deaths. Hospitals in Greater Manchester have had to issue their own warnings about A&E waiting times, urging people not to come to emergency departments save for a life-threatening incident or emergency. The North West Ambulance Service too raised alarm bells that it could take ambulances longer to reach people due to demand, particularly if the call was non-urgent.
