Everything they are doing to the NHS they did to British Rail.

Underfunded it, exhausted the service, got the public angry, and then said privatisation is the solution.

In December 2011, 4 patients waited more than 12h for a hospital bed after being admitted through A&E in England.

In December 2023, that number was 44,000

In January 2024, 54,000

The public must understand reality to demand change

Hopefully not controversial, but...
🚑 If an Acute Trust cannot control 12h ED delay, it cannot control ambulance handover delay - these two metrics are very tightly connected.
EM has almost no agency in 12h ED delay. These are down to operational agility and specialty response.

We need more reports like this.

Because even though those of us at the coal face have been saying what it’s like FOR YEARS - this is not new or unusual - it’s only when your relly ends up on a trolley for hours that anyone really understands.

Dr Bella The question is whether Labour will continue what the Tories started. They seem keen.

The reality is that the UK can afford a properly funded NHS, but the Westminster parties have decided not to give us one.

Let's make it *the* election issue.

Invest in services that prevent admission

Often resources are funnelled into the wrong areas

Fund the right area - reduce the burden, improve patient outcome

Toilet related harm !
Ratio of ED staff:toilets is a marker of concern for staff wellbeing!!
Lots of variation nationally! (Should trusts start putting this on job adverts?)

Would love to hear ratios from departments across the country!

Ward: I don’t know lads discharging someone at 17:01 on a Friday sounds a bit risky let’s just keep them over the weekend to be safe

ED: if we put pillows in the urinals we could bed at least four more people in this toilet
