Critical incident stood down: Friday 5 April 9.30am

Please note that the critical incident has now been stood down. We recognise the hard work of all our colleagues and thank them for their efforts through this period of escalation.
We also want to thank the public who took steps to #HelpUsHelpYou by only attending the Emergency Department for serious or life-threatening conditions and using other services, such as NHS 111, for urgent care.
Thank you.
