Drop in visits to A&E at the Liverpool Women's Trust last month

Fewer patients visited A&E at the Liverpool Women's Trust last month – but attendances were higher than over the same period last year, figures reveal.

NHS England figures show 1,175 patients visited A&E at Liverpool Women's NHS Foundation Trust in June.

That was a drop of 3% on the 1,210 visits recorded during May, but 2% more than the 1,157 patients seen in June 2021.

The figures show attendances were above the levels seen before the coronavirus pandemic – in June 2020, there were 748 visits to A&E departments run by the Liverpool Women's Trust.

All of last month's attendances were via consultant-led departments with single specialties, such as eye conditions or dental problems.

Across England, A&E departments received 2.2 million visits last month.

That was in line with May, and the same number as were seen during June 2021.
