Description

Patients at Craigavon Area Hospitals Emergency Department faced unprecedented wait times this week, with some waiting nearly nineteen hours. This comes after reports of ambulances waiting over thirteen hours outside hospitals. The Northern Ireland Ambulance Service attributes these delays to system-wide challenges and trade union action. Despite efforts to reduce handover delays, the system remains under intense pressure. NIAS urges patients not to repeatedly call for ambulance updates, but to do so immediately if a patients condition worsens.
