Interhospital Transfers

The request was successful.

Robert Williams

Dear North West Ambulance Service NHS Trust,

I am looking at collating information on interhospital transfers booked from Macclesfield Hospital.

Please can you advise on the amount of transfers from Macclesfield District General Hospital that have been graded as an emergency transfer (either Red (R2) or Green (G2) on a month by month basis for period 01st April 2016 - 31st March 2017.

I would like to request in addition the amount of time (in hours) this took ambulances away from dealing with other 999 calls in the community on a month by month basis for the same period.

Yours faithfully,

Robert Williams

Dear Mr Williams,

 

Please see below information in response to your FOI request.

 

In relation to your question "I would like to request in addition the
amount of time (in hours) this took ambulances away from dealing with
other 999 calls in the community on a month by month basis for the same
period", please note that these calls come in as emergency calls via 999
and so we cannot say whether or not resources were taken away from other
999 calls in the community. However we have provided the total number of
hours per month that a vehicle was actively responding to a Red 2 or Green
2 transfer from Macclesfield District General Hospital.
