you can t put a new guest in there. not enough patients are being discharged from the wards to make way for new arrivals. but we re only, what, just gone nine o clock in the morning and you know, it s early in the day. yeah, the ambulances. will start to increase over the next three hours, - so we really need to get those discharges from the main wards within the next three hours. - it s not even 9.30 in the morning and already all the ambulance bays are full. one, two, three, four, five, six, seven, eightambulances, and they can t get the patients off because there are no beds in the hospital for them yet. and we just heard that they re accepting patients from another hospital that hasn t got beds, so there s a real log jam building here. two years into the pandemic, it s adding to the pressures typically caused by a surge in demand during winter. there are a number of different factors at play that are impacting, so covid l is definitely one of them.
