Christchurch Hospital is very busy due
Christchurch Hospital is very busy due to high winter demand and has been in red gridlock today.
Waiting times in the Emergency Department may be long.
Staff at the hospital are working very hard to ease the backlog. As part of the management of this busy period, some pre-booked treatment is being re-scheduled.
Unless people require urgent treatment, they should see their GP or an after hours surgery.
