Officials said patients with the most urgent clinical need will be prioritised
Nottingham and Nottinghamshire's health and care system has continued its 'critical incident' because of ongoing and increasing pressures on hospital services. That means some non-urgent operations, where patients require a stay in hospital, are being postponed so patients with the most urgent clinical need can be prioritised.
Services remain open through the weekend. Local NHS services are struggling because of significant numbers of Covid cases, a lack of capacity in the care sector and high numbers of patients arriving at hospitals needing treatment.A statement from the Nottingham and Nottinghamshire Integrated Care Board said: "We regret that it has been necessary to take this step, but it is important that we focus on patients needing urgent and emergency care as a priority.
The ICB has signposted a number of ways care can be received to place avoidable demand on ambulance services and emergency departments.
