An average of 706 adult hospital beds were occupied last week by patients with diarrhoea and vomiting or norovirus-like symptoms - nearly four times the number from this point last year
An increase in norovirus cases is putting pressure on the NHS, even as ambulance delays ease.But the share of ambulance handovers in England taking more than 30 minutes averaged 20% in the week to 12 February. This was pretty much identical to the same time last year when they averaged 20.1%.The figures are similar for delays of more than 60 minutes, with the same week seeing 6.8% of ambulance handovers taking over an hour, way down from the winter peak of 26.4% during the week of 2 January.
Delays in patients being discharged from hospital also continued their downward trend with 13,122 people ready for discharge on 12 February remaining in hospital, the lowest number since New Year's Day.An average of 6.2% of general and acute beds were free at any given time during that week, up from a low of 5.3% on the 10 January.
This is down 5% from 743 in the previous week but is nearly four times the number from this point last year.
