Northampton's A&E is bursting at the seems weeks before winter has set in, health bosses warn

Northampton's A&E is bursting at the seems weeks before winter has set in, health bosses warn Accident and emergency admissions in Northampton are at "winter levels" already, hospital bosses have warned, even though a cold snap is not due to hit the UK for several weeks.

Nene Clinical Commissioning Group (CCG) has urged would-be patients to consider calling the 111 NHS advice line, to visit their GP or see a pharmacist before presenting at Northampton General Hospital's stretched accident and emergency department.

The CCG says some of those presenting at A and E recently required hospital admission because they had "delayed seeking help" and had become acutely unwell as a result. Northampton Chronicle and Echo
