Department of Health reassures patients over increased demand for intensive care at Noble’s Hospital 26 January 2011

Noble’s Hospital is experiencing an abnormally high volume of patients requiring intensive care at the present time.

Unfortunately this has required the cancellation of some planned surgery to ensure that we have staff and facilities to care for these patients, to ensure that we have the capacity to admit emergency cases, and as a precaution to remove the risk for patients who may have needed intensive care or high dependency care following their planned surgery.

Individual patients affected are being contacted - if patients are not contacted then their surgery will be going ahead as planned.

The current situation is being monitored daily and Noble’s Hospital would like to reassure patients that there remains full availability of intensive care beds for emergency admissions.
