Hospitals are routinely operating at >100% capacity because we have unprecedented levels of dependent elderly people and a social care crisis. A&E is just the most prominent symptom of this.

NHS budget seems to be constantly growing with no actual increase in capability on bed availability.
I’d say A&E provision is one of my key political concerns and it doesn’t appear labour are actually going to try and fix the issue. Considering there isn’t a private alternative to A&E I’m surprised it’s even been allowed to become such a problem

Been in hospital a lot this year over some health problems. Hours waiting for an ambulance with a broken leg, spending time in the corridor and, even when I was in a ward, hearing treatment happening just outside my room.
None of this is the medical worker’s fault, of course. It’s chronic lack of funding and various efforts to privatise our healthcare system–which, if I’m honest, is the only thing in this country that makes me genuinely proud.
