Declaration of a critical incident is an operational decision based on the realities of demand and capacity at the time. There are a number of variables in informing the decision-making and there is no set formula in declaring a critical incident, but such a declaration signals to the wider system:

·         the pressures being experienced by the Trust;

·         the risk of patient harm from extended community waits; and

·         the heightened need to do everything possible to release ambulances being held at hospitals.
