An under-pressure hospital has issued another urgent plea as its A&E department faces 'exceptionally long waits'.
It is just the latest warning to have been issued about lengthy delays at the Royal Albert Edward Infirmary's emergency department in Wigan in recent days.
In a tweet this morning, Wrightington, Wigan and Leigh NHS Foundation Trust said: "We are currently experiencing exceptionally long waits in our A&E department and urge you to access it appropriately. Use NHS 111 online or by phone to determine the most appropriate place for your health needs. Help us help you – please share!"
