Ambulance handover and A&E wait struggles have hit Coventry and Nuneaton's hospital.
Latest data has shown that the University Hospital Coventry and Warwickshire and the George Eliot Hospital have struggled with the impact of winter demand as well as Covid over Christmas, into the New Year.
Figures on the BBC Health Tracker have shown that both hospitals have performed worse than the national average in December when it came to patients waiting more than four hours for a bed on a ward.
Also, for what data is available for the start of January, both hospitals have seen more than the national average amount of patients waiting more than half an hour to be transferred from an ambulance into hospital.

Covid staff pressures
UHCW has previously said it has seen an increase in the number of staff off sick related to Covid 19 but they are battling to maintain services.
It is a similar picture at the 'Eliot which also admitted it has been hit by 'significant' staff absence caused by rocketing Covid rates across the borough.
But both the 'Eliot and UHCW have not had to declare critical incidents like some other hospital trusts in the UK.
