Liverpool NHS trust cancels ops and moves to 'surge phase' due to rise in Covid patients

The hospital trust has moved to the "surge phrase" to ensure capacity for additional Covid patients

In a letter to staff, the Liverpool University Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust said it had moved to the "surge phase".Those needing critical care at the trust's Aintree University and Royal Liverpool University Hospitals tripled in the last two weeks. "It is still within the volumes we can manage, although we are starting to feel the pressure," he added.The hospital trust is currently treating about 85 Covid patients, with 20 in critical care, but the situation was "very different" to the issues seen in previous waves and the trust was "seeing younger patients coming into critical care".

I hope all you pub goers are happy.

Wnkers.

Hard to tell; U-Turn; more money or people dying from other causes as untreated; blame it on covid. Sure it will be well covid due to either unlocking; holidays or some other BS. to deflect reasons for folk dying. More money the universal fix maybe.

I thought the numbers were coming down?
