Dr Clifford Mann, President of the School of Emergency Medicine, raised concerns more than the figures – which show that accident and emergency departments have missed the target to treat, admit or discharge 95 per cent of sufferers within 4 hours.
“The college has exhorted the NHS to decongest A&E departments by supplying accessible options for the 2.one million individuals who could be safely redirected from triage and to mandate full capability programs to address the pernicious issue of ‘exit block’ failure to do so will suggest these figures go from negative to worse and lives endangered.”
Shadow health minister Jamie Reed explained: “A&Es are facing the worst year in a decade – there’s now a summer time crisis which is worse than the winter 1. David Cameron’s complacency is not assisting.
“Ministers have taken social care support away from older people and manufactured it harder for other folks to get a GP appointment. A&Es are struggling to deal with the additional strain.
“Hospitals are operating over risk-free amounts – A&Es and hospital wards are full to bursting.”
A Division of Overall health spokeswoman explained: “A lot more than 400,000 patients were noticed at A&E inside four hours last week – a testament to the tough work of personnel.
“To tackle increasing demand, we are strengthening the links among GPs and elderly sufferers, and are investing £3.8 billion to join up overall health and social care for the first time ever.”
"Significant action" required to meet missed A&E targets
