New Covid variant 'running rife' in UK will spark surge in cases, warn NHS chiefs
Figures show 11,389 ambulances were held outside for 60 minutes or more last week – and a third of all arrivals wait at least half an hour.Around 13,400 beds per day – 14 per cent of the total – are blocked by people who are healthy enough to go home but do not have care.
And staff shortages reached another record high in September, with 47,496 empty nurse posts making a third of the total 133,446 vacancies. Director of the Royal College of Nursing, Patricia Marquis, said: “It’s easy to see why health and care is at breaking point. “This is precisely the reason our members have decided to strike – the workforce gaps and being underpaid have made care unsafe.”
