FAILING Unscheduled Care
ED Performance (12 Hours) emergency – ALL targets failed.
The Western Trust are currently failing to meet all targets in Unscheduled Care–
Unsheduled care is EMERGENCY care .
they say it “remains the Trust’s most challenged area of service delivery”- all of these performances are RED.
Its Performance has deteriorated in the latter part of 2024/25, specifically from October 24 to March 25, with an increase in the number of patients waiting longer than 12 hours in ED.
ED Handover is also a serious issue – this disables NIAS staff and extends treatment for patients in those ambulances and those waiting for the same ambulances. Northern Ireland Ambulance Service speak UP.
NIAS Handover 2024/25 handovers > 2 hours should be 0%
1st Quarter 5.7%
2nd Quarter 6.5%
3rd Quarter 8.2%
4th Quarter 9.3%
this is getting worse.
