Health chiefs in Greater Manchester are carrying out emergency planning and response meetings - which featured heavily during the Covid-19 response - as they anticipate heatwave pressure breaking over the NHS, the Manchester Evening News understands.
The Greater Manchester Strategic Coordinating Group is designed to plan for all types of major incidents and played a key role in the region’s fight during the height of the pandemic. The group has now been meeting over the last week to formulate a response to the increasing temperatures, according to senior sources in the region’s NHS system.
