Leeds Teaching Hospital Trust leaked mail (from the Independent)
"In an email to senior doctors on Wednesday morning, the trust’s clinical directors said: “Four patients with cancer are about to be cancelled today with very difficult and upsetting conversations. In critical care we’ve had six extra admissions, from four to 10 just yesterday.”
"The Leeds Hospital message, leaked to The Independent by concerned staff, said two of the hospital’s Covid wards were now full, adding: “It’s highly likely that we’ll need to open another Covid ward this week.
“We’ve got too many inpatients to manage this increase within [emergency specialty medicine] and the outlier numbers are very high – it’s affecting all our wards everywhere.”
