Rise in visits to A&E at the Liverpool Women's Trust

More patients visited A&E at the Liverpool Women's Trust last month, with demand rising above the levels seen over the same period last year.

NHS England figures show 1,255 patients visited A&E at Liverpool Women's NHS Foundation Trust in July.

That was a rise of 7% on the 1,175 visits recorded during June, and 13% more than the 1,107 patients seen in July 2021.

The figures show attendances were above the levels seen in the early days of the coronavirus pandemic – in July 2020, there were 697 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 a decrease of 1% compared to June, and the same number as were seen during July 2021.
