Heatwave Hits NHS Emergency Services | Nottingham News

Public urged to help free up beds by collecting discharged relatives, while flu or respiratory patients are warned not to visit hospitals.

This isn’t the first heatwave emergency — East Midlands Ambulance also declared critical incident, now stood down. Support the show:Get a discount at https://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
