NHS transfers average 38.5 patients a day in January, double the number during first wave
Dozens of Covid patients a day are being moved from one hospital to another because of a severe shortage of critical care beds across the NHS.
The NHS transferred a total of 1,079 people needing critical care in England, Wales and Northern Ireland to ICUs in different areas in the four weeks to 28 January – an average of 38.5 a day.
