Some patients attending the Accident and Emergency Department at the Queen Elizabeth Hospital may experience longer-than-usual waiting times.

According to a statement from the QEH, this is due to a significant increase in patient numbers over the past several days.

The hospital says the department has seen a surge in patients presenting with serious complications arising from non-communicable diseases (NCDs).
