Managers work out of hours in bid to fix Calderdale trust A&E performance

The trust missed the four hour target in February but was still slightly ahead of the 95 per cent requirement for the year to date at the end of February.

A report to March’s board meeting revealed on call managers were on site at the weekend and until 9pm at night. The trust has used flexible capacity to cope with the pressure on A&E and is emphasising having a plan in place to manage patients to reduce length of stay.
