Response
A
135 people were taken to Jersey General Hospital’s (JGH’s) Emergency Department by the States of Jersey Ambulance Service (SoJAS), where the emergency call was triaged as “Traffic / Transportation Incidents”. This figure does not include patients who self-present to the Emergency Department.
B
38 people were admitted JGH from the Emergency Department after being conveyed by SoJAS, with a cumulative length of stay of 157 nights.
C
5 people from the above cohort of patients were transferred to an Overseas / NHS Hospital. Fewer than five were transferred to Southampton General Hospital / University Hospital Southampton NHS Foundation Trust.
As numbers are small, disclosure control is applied to protect individuals from identification, and Article 25 of the Freedom of Information (Jersey) Law 2011 has been applied to protect the privacy of individuals.
D
Records show that those transferred spent a total of 110 days in hospital (cumulatively), 24 of which were spent in Southampton General Hospital / University Hospital Southampton NHS Foundation Trust.
