Wirral University Teaching Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust has declared an internal critical incident due to unprecedented demand, leading to a suspension of non-emergency services. The trust is asking the public to help by going first to an urgent treatment centre or contacting 111 if not facing a true emergency. The trust characterized the move as a business continuity incident to manage disruption. The hospital is also cancelling some training and non-urgent services to maximise staff numbers.
