Full, but the hospitals in Liverpool refuted this and said it was 70%(and this is the usual level of occupancy).
So you have to be cynical about what is being said...even more cynical about WHY!

actually when i have visited people in hospital they have always looked full to me. you have worked in these places margaret so i imagine that the percentages quoted have been correct at this and other times of the year. what per centage of ICU beds do they possibly want. if it got too low then they may shut em anyway and move patiants somewhere else.
