The Nottingham and Nottinghamshire health and care system has stood down the critical incident that was called last week.

In a statement, NHS Nottingham and Nottinghamshire ICB, said: “Through system working we have seen a reduction in hospital bed admissions and an increase in discharge levels, which has helped with capacity across the system.

"Our NHS and social care staff have worked tirelessly to maintain services and keep the public safe throughout the last week.

“Patients and members of the public will continue to be asked to use services wisely to ensure those patients with the greatest need can access care and support.
