Our doctors and nurses recognise situations every day where care would have been provided to a much higher standard and would have been safer if we had one purpose-built site, which would be fully staffed with trained specialist teams. By only seeing those patients who have a life or limb-threatening emergency we would be able to see and treat them faster, providing better results for patients and reducing the amount of time they have to stay in hospital. We believe that by having a single emergency department, patients would be seen quicker and more efficiently than they are now.
