东伦敦一家拥挤的急诊科将进行重建，此前其所属的国家医疗服务体系信托机构为该工程筹集了4200万英镑。
An overcrowded A&E department in east London is to be rebuilt after its NHS trust secured £42m for the work.
根据巴金、哈弗林和雷德布里奇大学医院国家医疗服务体系信托机构（BHRUT）的说法，罗姆福德女王医院的急诊科于2006年开放，原计划每天接诊325名患者，但实际接诊人数经常超过这个数字的两倍。
The emergency department at Queen's Hospital in Romford opened in 2006 to treat 325 patients a day but regularly sees more than twice that number, according to Barking, Havering and Redbridge University Hospitals NHS Trust (BHRUT).
该信托机构表示，重建将设立专门的候诊区，而该部门目前缺乏此类区域，并将从医院入口到成人急诊科的步行距离从335步缩短至约50步。
The trust said the rebuild would create dedicated waiting areas, which the department currently lacks, and cut the walk from the hospital entrance to the adult A&E department from 335 steps to about 50.
代理首席执行官菲奥娜·惠勒称这是患者和员工的“里程碑时刻”。
Interim chief executive Fiona Wheeler called it a "landmark moment" for patients and staff.
“这将终止员工在狭窄条件下工作的状况，并创造更好的临床环境，”她说。
"It will put an end to staff working in cramped conditions and create a better clinical environment," she said.
该信托机构表示，新布局将有助于缩短等待时间并减少走廊护理，即患者因缺乏空间而在走廊接受治疗。
The trust said the new layout would help reduce waiting times and corridor care, where patients are treated in hallways because of a lack of space.
儿科急诊科也将进行重新设计，设立专门的复苏区，并将评估区合并到主诊疗部门。
The children's A&E will also be redesigned with a dedicated resuscitation area and the assessment area merged into the main department.
该医院护理主任露丝·格林表示，急诊科的自然光照“将带来巨大变化”。
Ruth Green, director of nursing at the hospital, said natural light in the department was "going to change so much".
BHRUT在当地议员的支持下，为这笔资金奔走了22个月。该项目最初预算为3500万英镑。
BHRUT has campaigned for the money for 22 months with the backing of local MPs. The project was originally costed at £35m.
该信托机构计划与健康创新网络UCL Partners合作，为新部门建设数字系统，但尚未公布建设开始时间。，external
