ANTRIM A&E, THIRD WORST PERFORMANCE IN TRUST'S HISTORY MAY 2012

7/1/2012

There have been several reactions to the new A&E unit at Antrim Area Hospital:
  • Mid Ulster MLA Patsy McGlone stating it was two years to late
  • Edwin Poots already has fears that it is not big enough if services are withdrawn from Causeway Hospital in a meeting with Save The Mid
  • Jim Stewart, Chairman of the Northern Health & Social Care Trust (NHSCT) stating the new facility that will serve 90,000 patients a year is in Mid Ulster residents best interests.
However regardless of how big the alleged new A&E facility is at Antrim Area, there is a shortage of inpatient beds within the NHSCT, according to Valarie Jackson, head of acute services within the NHSCT 90% of people waiting in A&E are waiting there because there are not beds available to admit these patients.
Several questions must be answered before further reconfiguration of services: will the new A&E that is the same operational size as the previous one in Antrim really be able to serve 90,000 patients a year, & will it be able to admit patients any faster than its predecessor.

In May 2012 the performance of Antirm A&E was the third worst in its history, yet there has been silence by the Health Minster and politicians regarding this.

The below graphs show the constant downward spiral of performance at the troubled Antrim Area Hospital.
