A&E bed waiting times on the rise

Patients in accident and emergency at Noble's Hospital are waiting almost 60 per cent longer for a bed on a ward.

The figures have been released in response to a Freedom of Information request on the subject.

The person behind the query wanted to know how long it took over the past three years for patients to be moved to beds on wards after they were admitted from A&E.

Last year the average figure stood at 275 minutes - so far this year, it's running at 435 minutes.
