Happy New Year! Back for first 1830 @BBCNWT of 2025. Graph ⬇️ shows North West Tonight has completed FOUR consecutive years, month-after-month, with the highest Audience Appreciation of all BBC News output. Thank you, as always, for watching and best wishes from all the team.
In other words, last month a fairly small hospital in Greater Manchester had 28 times the number of people waiting >12 hours to be admitted compared to the whole of England in 2015 (ends)
In Tameside Hospital in Greater Manchester this happened to 46% of the patients who were admitted last month - 805 people out of 1,763. (3/4)
In December 2015 in England NHS figures show 29 patients waited longer than 12 hours to be admitted to hospital from A&E Last month that figure was 54,207 (1/4)
