People are being urged to stay away from A&E departments across Greater Manchester unless their condition is urgent or life-threatening.<\/p>\n

The warning from the local NHS comes after reports of hospitals being in lockdown as a precaution after the car and stabbing attack at a synagogue<\/a> in the city’s Crumpsall area earlier.<\/p>\n

A spokesman for NHS Greater Manchester said the move would help “prioritise care for those most in need” and allow emergency services to respond to the major incident. <\/p>\n

Patients with hospital appointments have been told to attend as normal unless they are contacted and told otherwise. <\/p>\n

In a statement, the Greater Manchester Integrated Care Partnership, which represents NHS and care organisations in the area, said: “We are actively supporting the multi-agency response led by Greater Manchester.<\/p>\n

“Anyone who is unsure about which services they can use has been urged to contact the NHS 111 online or over the phone for advice.”<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"People are being urged to stay away from A&E departments across Greater Manchester unless their condition is urgent…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":186994,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[43],"tags":[102,2960,56,54,55],"class_list":{"0":"post-186993","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-healthcare","8":"tag-health","9":"tag-healthcare","10":"tag-uk","11":"tag-united-kingdom","12":"tag-unitedkingdom"},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/186993","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=186993"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/186993\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/186994"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=186993"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=186993"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=186993"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
