Royal Oldham Hospital Accident and Emergency Department
Nearly 200 people waited over 12 hours for a bed at A&E departments run by Pennine Acute Trust last month, the highest figures in the North West.
In December 2020, 199 patients at Pennine Acute hospitals waited over 12 hours for a bed. Previous figures recorded 337 (November) and 200 (October) – both of which were the highest in the country for those months.
Pennine Acute hospitals with emergency departments include Fairfield General Hospital and The Royal Oldham Hospital but the data also includes North Manchester General which is now operated by the Manchester University Foundation Trust.
Having previously had more patients waiting this length of time than anywhere else in the country for the prior two months, Pennine has now dropped to experiencing the fifth highest figure nationally. This rose as high as 611 patients for one NHS trust based in London, the highest in the country for December 2020.

Emergency Care at A&E departments – NCA asks public to #HelpUsHelpYou Date published: 23 December 2020
Dr Chris Brookes, A&E Consultant at Salford Royal, and Group Chief Medical Officer for the Northern Care Alliance
Christmas is a busy time for the Northern Care Alliance’s four Emergency Departments including the A&E at The Royal Oldham Hospital and the A&E at Fairfield General in Bury.
The organisation is asking the public to think carefully and consider which health services to use over Christmas and throughout the coming winter months to help them help you to choose the right care.
Managing busy Emergency Departments during the continuing pandemic means that social distancing and infection prevention and control measures are even more important, in order to keep all patients and staff safe and secure.
