Medway Maritime chief executive defends ambulance diverts

The chief executive of Medway Maritime Hospital has defended her staff after ambulances were diverted to other hospitals.

Lesley Dwyer said things had not "gone wrong" at the hospital.

The decision to send patients away from the Medway Maritime Hospital to elsewhere in Kent between 07:00 and 12:00 BST was made following a Care Quality Commission inspection.

The same procedure will continue on Thursday.
