There could be a rise in deaths, in particular among those over the age of 65 or those with health conditions.<\/p>\n
There will be likely increased demand on all health and social care services.<\/p>\n
Temperatures inside care homes and hospitals may exceed recommended thresholds and a risk of overheating for vulnerable people is increased.<\/p>\n
The heat will also affect the workforce to deliver vital services, manage medicines and staffing issues due to external factors, as travel delays are expected.<\/p>\n
The Met Office forecast from Saturday onwards is: “Hazy sunshine on Saturday with isolated showers, perhaps thundery.<\/p>\n
“Occasional bright spells on Sunday with cloudier skies arriving into Monday.<\/p>\n
“Feeling warm to start then turning fresher on Sunday.”<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"A rise in deaths is ‘likely’The whole of England has been issued an amber heat alert.(Image: UK Health…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":197010,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[8818],"tags":[381,748,393,4884,16,15,741],"class_list":{"0":"post-197009","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-bristol","8":"tag-bristol","9":"tag-britain","10":"tag-england","11":"tag-great-britain","12":"tag-uk","13":"tag-united-kingdom","14":"tag-weather"},"share_on_mastodon":{"url":"https:\/\/pubeurope.com\/@uk\/114709801546790246","error":""},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/197009","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=197009"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/197009\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/197010"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=197009"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=197009"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=197009"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
