NHS waiting times Preston: When are the busiest times of the week at Lancashire Teaching Hospitals Trust A&E?
The figures come as the NHS deals with increasing pressures during the recovery from the coronavirus pandemic. Individual NHS England figures show more than 30% of patients waited more than four hours to be seen at A&Es across England in November – a new record for the third month in succession.
The Nuffield Trust said a significant factor is the growing number of patients taking up hospital beds as they wait to be discharged because support from health and care social services outside of hospital is not ready.Jessica Morris, fellow at the Nuffield Trust, said:"While the Government has now confirmed when the NHS will see some additional funding to tackle these delays, it is too late in the day to have a meaningful impact this year.
"Patients with no choice but to stay in hospital beds when they are medically fit enough to be cared for elsewhere is a serious problem for both the patients and NHS staff across the system."Health and Social Care Secretary Steve Barclay said he is supporting staff by"investing record amounts into health and social care, including committing an additional £8 billion for health and social care in 2024-25".
Mr Barclay added that some 7,000 extra beds will also be created and £500 million will see 24-7 support centres will be rolled out across England,"speeding up discharge from hospital and helping to ease pressures and get patients treated and out of hospital faster."
