Re: A&E Departments stretched to the limit
Our local hospital trust operated four local hospitals. It has since sold the land one was on and used the proceeds to fund the closure of another (they built a new one on the site).
Anyway, a few years ago, they realised that using casualty to treat minor injuries is actually very expensive, so they offered to refit the smallest hospital in the borough as a minor injuries unit that the local gps could use to treat minor injuries instead of casualty. Local gps where not interested.
