Picture: Katie Collins/PA Wire. ALMOST 90 people were admitted to John Radcliffe Hospital last year with stab wounds, exclusive figures show. In 2020, the Oxford hospital’s accident and emergency department saw 89 people come through their doors with stab wounds. The figures, obtained exclusively by the Oxford Mail, do not include self-inflicted wounds. The 89 admissions included five children and eight women. John Radcliffe Hospital is a regional trauma unit treating serious injuries from across the Thames Valley, so it is not possible to say that all those admitted with stab wounds were from Oxfordshire. The numbers were down slightly from 2019, when 98 people were admitted to the Oxford A&E with stab wounds. Oxford University Hospitals said the method of recording wounds changed in that year, accounting for a significant rise in reports of patients with stab wounds in 2019 and 2020.
