I’m Paul Hutton with news that a critical incident has been declared by the Isle of Wight's hospital trust. The alert was announced by after it said St Mary's Hospital in Newport saw a rise "in demand for emergency care". Hospital bosses said discharging delays for patients to return home or into social care meant the hospital "has again reached capacity". The trust said only those with life-threatening conditions and injuries should attend its emergency department. For more care news stay with us here at Care Radio.
