Re: Crisis in the NHS

It doesn't look as though the Red Cross weren't exaggerating. It's not really even been a bad winter weather wise, thankfully.

Leak shows full extent of NHS winter crisis

Record numbers of patients are facing long waits in A&Es as documents leaked to the BBC show the full extent of the winter crisis in the NHS in England.
Nearly a quarter of patients waited longer than four hours in A&E last week, with just one hospital hitting its target.
And huge numbers also faced long waits for a bed when A&E staff admitted them into hospital as emergency cases.
There were more than 18,000 "trolley waits" of four hours or more last week.
That suggests about one in five patients admitted for further treatment endured one of these long waits on trolleys and in hospital corridors - twice the rate normally seen.
Some 485 of them were for more than 12 hours - treble the number seen during the whole of January last year.
It would be a start if the Government properly acknowledged the crisis and stopped trying to play politics, which they are bad at anyway. Jeremy Hunt seems to have gone AWOL again...
