Nearly half of A&E patients waited longer than four hours to be seen at Northampton General Hospital in November Nearly half of patients attending major A&E at Northampton General Hospital waited longer than four hours to be dealt with last month, according to NHS England figures.

NHS targets state that 95 percent of patients attending accident and emergency should be admitted to hospital, transferred elsewhere or discharged within four hours. But NGH fell well short of that in November, when just 55 percent of the 9,172 type one A&E attendances were dealt with within four hours. Northampton Chronicle and Echo
