Greater Manchester's NHS is suffering huge pressure as health chiefs warn against unnecessary hospital trips
As temperatures are set to drop in the coming days, health leaders in Greater Manchester have issued a warning about the use of NHS services due to increasing pressure on hospitals after Christmas.
The demand for primary care, hospital services including urgent and emergency cares, mental health, and other emergency services across Greater Manchester continues to rise, putting a strain on NHS services, according to its bosses.
Hospitals throughout the region are dealing with a surge in patients, including those suffering from chronic respiratory conditions, which often worsen in cold weather.
And the impending cold and icy conditions pose additional risks for individuals with long-term health issues and those who are more vulnerable, says the health service.
