It
was the LMC advice at the last LMC meeting that everyone should review their
escalation level – please see attached the chart that you can use to reference
the escalation level you feel your practice is at.
Many practices may feel that they are at a level
4 for a variety of reasons but most notably – “significant issue with access to
secondary care or WAST” and “excess demand/escalation level not expected to
reduce within the next 7 days without external support”
.
