Lancashire corridor care figures revealed

NHS England has published corridor care figures for the first time, showing how many patients were treated for more than 45 minutes outside a clinically appropriate and safe setting.

Across Lancashire, East Lancashire Hospitals NHS Trust recorded one of the highest emergency department figures nationally, with an average of 62 patients a day receiving corridor care in May.

It also recorded an average of 31 patients a day receiving corridor care on hospital wards.

Lancashire Teaching Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust recorded 24 emergency department patients a day on average.

University Hospitals of Morecambe Bay NHS Foundation Trust recorded 40 emergency department patients a day.

At Blackpool Teaching Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust, the figures were lower, with an average of nine patients a day receiving corridor care in emergency departments and four a day on wards.

The data does not include ambulance handover delays.
