I'm keeping my fingers crossed... because it will make a big difference.
"Roughly a third of patients do not need to be accommodated on those sites and that's extremely difficult," he said.Paul Underwood says there are well over 350 patients well enough to be discharged At mid-morning the waiting room is already full, as are most of the department's beds or trolleys.
