Providing safe urgent care
Halton Health’s urgent out-of-hours service consistently achieves all Department of Health national quality requirements. In some areas we exceed these requirements:
- • We aim to respond to calls for all palliative care patients within 20 minutes and a home visit within one hour.
- • We ask our drivers to phone ahead with an ETA to all patients requiring a home visit.
We continue to look at ways we can further improve the service. If you have any suggestions please email ddocs.patientfeedback@nhs.net
