A REVIEW of how the A and E department at Barnsley Hospital has performed over the winter will be held next month.

Latest figures from NHS England show just 87.1 per cent of all patients who attended A and E in January were seen within four hours. In November, the figure was 87.7 per cent and in December was 83.5 per cent.
