What It Costs<\/h1>\n\n\n

\n
Please think carefully and consider whether going to an A&E <\/span>department is really necessary and the best option for you. You may <\/span>be able to look after yourself at home with the right advice and <\/span>information or you might need some help from an NHS service in your <\/span>area.\u00a0 Of course, in a genuine emergency the A&E <\/span>department will provide the best possible care for life-threatening <\/span>illness and injury, but you should only go there in a real <\/span>emergency.<\/span><\/div>\n
\u00a0<\/div>\n
\n

As many as one in four people who go to A&E could care for themselves or use alternative treatment.\u00a0 In fact in 2010, in
the North West of England alone, incorrect use of A&E departments cost the NHS around \u00a321 million. A single visit to
A&E can cost \u00a3124 just to be seen.\u00a0 There are plenty of other services available where you can be seen quickly and conveniently, so\u2026<\/p>\n

Think about it, and choose the right care.<\/strong><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
