Question to the Department of Health and Social Care:
To ask Her Majesty's Government when each NHS Nightingale Hospital opened; how many patients have been accommodated in each such hospital in each week since they opened; whether any such hospitals have been permanently closed; and, if any such hospitals have closed, when.
The opening dates of each of the Nightingale sites are shown in the following table.
Date | Nightingale Site |
3 April 2020 | London |
16 April 2020 | Birmingham |
17 April 2020 | Manchester |
21 April 2020 | Harrogate |
27 April 2020 | Bristol |
5 May 2020 | Sunderland |
6 July 2020 | Exeter |
This number of patients accommodated is not available in the format requested. NHS England and NHS Improvement are collating some data relating to patient activity in the Nightingale hospitals but this information has not been centrally validated. Only the NHS Nightingale Hospital Exeter, NHS Nightingale Hospital North West and the NHS Nightingale Hospital London have provided inpatient services. Nightingale hospitals were activated based on local clinical decisions in response to patient demand and are now in the process of being decommissioned.
