MariaPCC 11 December 2024

Health and social care secretary Wes Streeting has asked NHS leaders to prioritise patient safety as the health service battles record pressures heading into winter. Mr Streeting made the appeal as he held a meeting with NHS England chief executive Amanda Pritchard and other trust leads from across the country this morning to discuss growing pressures on urgent and emergency care services. Latest data shows the NHS is going into winter under more strain than ever before, with record numbers of people in hospital and over four times more flu admissions at the end of November compared to the same time last year.
