Red weather warning issued for extreme heat and humidity
NHS England is under ‘unprecedented strain,’ health campaigners warn
NHS ENGLAND is under “unprecedented strain” due to government cuts, health campaigners warned today after the latest monthly service report showed extreme bed shortages.
More than 100,000 A&E patients waited more than four hours for beds in January — the highest number of “trolly waits” since records began. Of these, about 2,800 waited more than 12 hours.
This is an increase of over 20 per cent and 354 per cent respectively from the same month in 2019.
