Ms Mary Day:

Dr. Henry has gone through the Manchester triage system. Additional supports have been put into emergency departments compared with this time last year. There are an additional 71 ED consultants and registrars. As part of the safe staffing phase 2, an additional 80 staff nurses have gone in to support the staffing level across the emergency departments. The other area is looking at injury units where there are alternative pathways to take some of that pressure off the emergency departments.
