STAFF at the district’s hospitals are still meeting national A&E department waiting time targets.
The latests figures show in the week ending April 12, 2,629 patients visited Bradford Royal Infirmary’s (BRI) emergency department and the week before there were 2,540 visits, with 97 per cent of them seen within four hours, still meeting the NHS target of 95 per cent.
At Airedale Hospital, 97 per cent of people were seen within four hours during the same two weeks.
Stacey Hunter, director of operations at Airedale NHS Foundation Trust said: “We continue to be busy both in our Emergency Department and on our wards.
“But patients who need to be admitted are not as poorly as they were during the winter months and are able to go home sooner, and we have also extended our winter schemes and continued with our winter plan for longer.
“We would like to thank staff who continue to do a great job in busy circumstances for all their support.”
