Hospitals struggled to cope under the weight of rising patient numbers and packed A&E departments as revellers rang in 2015.
Waiting times at A&E were at their worst for many years over New Year period , the latest NHS figures show.
Huddersfield and Calderdale medics suffered one of their lowest scores ever for seeing patients within four hours.
During the week ending January 4 only 84.5% of people attending were seen within four hours – more than 10% below the NHS target.
Extra staff were called in to Huddersfield Royal Infirmary’s (HRI) emergency department to deal with the dozens of extra patients during one of the busiest nights of the year.
