The Emergency Unit at UHW is incredibly busy which is leading to long waits in the department.

We are urging the public to only attend the unit in an emergency.

Our emergency departments at all hospitals are all extremely busy today. The most seriously injured and ill patients are prioritised. This means that, even if you are there before someone else, if you have a less serious condition, you will face an extended wait.

Today is the 20th Anniversary of Live Fear Free. Everyone has the right to live fear free.

The helpline is open 24 hours a day, 7 days a week.
