Re: Crisis in the NHS

Some interesting statistics.

NHS activity

The NHS deals with over 1 million patients every 36 hours.

In 2015/16 there were 40 per cent more operations ('procedures and interventions' as defined by Hospital Episode Statistics, excluding diagnostic testing) completed by the NHS compared to 2005/06, with an increase from 7.215m to 10.119m.

There were 16.252m total hospital admissions in 2015/16, 28 per cent more than a decade earlier (12.679m).

The total annual attendances at Accident & Emergency departments was 22.923m in 2015/16, 22 per cent higher than a decade earlier (18.759m).

The proportion of patients seen within 4 hours at A&E departments in 2015/16 was 87.9 per cent in major (type 1 units) and 91.9 per cent overall.
