Brexit & the Tories. The gift that keeps on taking.

“5,449 people have lost their lives since 2016 as a direct result of waiting anywhere between six hours and 11 hours..
Those deaths represent the total “estimated attributable mortality” from the delays theguardian.com/society/2019/d…

The research, by Dr Chris Moulton and Dr Cliff Mann, found that 960 out of 79,228 patients who had to wait about six hours died as a direct result of the delay.

This means that one in every 83 people who have to wait that long to be admitted will die as a direct result of the delay in them starting specialist care for their condition, they said in their research, as yet to be published.

Similarly, 855 people died over the past three years because they waited about seven hours, as did 636 others who faced delays of at least 11 hours.

Meanwhile, as Boris Johnson tells EU Nationals that they have been made “too comfortable” in making their homes here, 22k EU nationals who worked in our NHS have upped sticks and gone since the referendum.

See the connection?
