A&E Figuring it all out Latest figures from the Department of Health for 2008 show that 145,055 people attended our single A&E in Blackburn. Compare this with the 131,689 people who went to A&E in the Calderdale and Huddersfield NHS Foundation Trust where there are two A&Es, one in Halifax and another in Huddersfield. Just a few miles apart. In the Lancashire Teaching Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust there were 115,057 attendances at the two A&Es – in Preston and in Chorley. In the last year when Burnley had its own A&E department (2007) there were an estimated 68,700 attendances. Today, there are around 45 hospital A&E departments with attendances below 69,000. |
