The RLI and FGH sites are now in an improved position with less patients waiting in our Emergency Departments, a small number of beds available on both sites, and no immediate patient safety concerns. Therefore, the Trust has taken the decision to formally de-escalate to OPEL Level 3.
Whilst de-escalation to OPEL Level 3 is positive news and a real testament to colleagues and our partners; our services do remain under extreme pressure. Therefore, we will continue to work closely with our partners to monitor the pressures and take appropriate action where needed.
