As it’s called Warrington and Halton NHS Trust, does it cover all of Warrington and Halton? Is Halton Hospital taking Covid patients? Are these figures just from Warrington residents?
If it is covering the residents of Warrington AND Halton, that’s covering nearly 400,000 people.
I’m just trying to understand the figures.
Halton doesn’t treat covid patients its classed as a green hospital, treating cancer patients and other conditions, i am currently a patient under their care so I know the situation. The reason I believe for the confusion is it says Warrington and Halton NHS trust is this is simply the name of the trust. I agree it would be better if they explained that one.
It is explained and has been every day since March 2020 *Hospital deaths include residents from Warrington and Halton. Total deaths of Warrington residents can be seen below.
The hospital figures cover Warrington & Halton, the other data relates to Warrington (as in new cases) and also includes the national data. This is how we have been reporting it since the start of the pandemic every day.
