HOSPITAL DATA
Summary:
A smallish fall of 32 today - it was 40 in England last Wednesday. No fall in the other nations as Wales had quite a big rise of 16 patients on the day. Curious given the low case numbers.
Ventilators fell by just 8 in England versus 24 last week. Rose in the other nations day to day.
In the England regions only modest falls and Midlands and South West rose - which is why the fall was low. Not by much but unusual mid week. North West made it to sub 200 in hospital for first time in over 7 months.
The NW was last lower in patients on 11 September - ahead of the national picture. They were last lower on ventilators on 15 September - also ahead of the national numbers.
