Hospital bosses in Derbyshire have declared a critical incident after describing the health and social care system as "exceptionally busy".Hospitals are seeing more people arrive for treatment, with extended waits for beds and "difficulties discharging patients due to due lack of capacity".
"We have plans for times of increased pressure, but our ability to continue to find solutions is being tested to extreme levels," it said. "We are working hard to protect planned appointments and operations for patients who have an urgent need or have already waited a long time for their procedure."
