The health emergency hospitalising more and more Greater Manchester children
A group of parents and an NHS GP are warning that the NHS faces a ‘health emergency’ as the number of children being hospitalised in Manchester for respiratory conditions has nearly doubled in the last two years. New figures obtained by the campaign group 'Mums for Lungs' show that the number of paediatric respiratory admissions in England's largest hospital trust, based in Manchester, has increased from 684 in 2021 to 1,345 in 2023 - an increase of 97 per cent, the latest figures that are available.
