🚨 NEW: Ambulance took more than 30 mins to reach dying baby - 8 mins to answer the 999 call. From next week, 2 NHS ambulance trusts plan to downgrade some emergency calls as crisis deepens:
thetimes.co.uk/article/541319…
Wyllow-Raine was born at 39 weeks & discharged from @OUHospitals on 29 Sept. Just 8 hrs later she stopped breathing & her family had to do CPR while they waited 31m and 10s for help to arrive.

“I’m angry and I want answers. I am not going to go away" - says her grandmother
Across England, thousands of people have been harmed because paramedics have been delayed handing over patients to overcrowded A&E departments. This month, @OFFICIALWMAS saw the worst ambulance delay yet recorded — at 29 hours and 51 minutes thetimes.co.uk/article/541319…

INVESTIGATION: What is Britain's problem with cancer and why can't we fix it?
A long read examining the NHS's "late diagnosis service". With @Ben_Spencer @tomhcalver @CjtClover
thetimes.co.uk/article/why-is…
The Sunday Times tried to answer why Britain lags so many other countries on cancer survival. In brief British people are slower to come forward; GPs act as gatekeepers to hold back demand; because the NHS lacks diagnostic & treatment capacity & staff to cope with said demand: Image
While @AmandaPritchard told me the NHS had now "completely caught up" with the lost cancer referrals from Covid - the service is facing an uphill struggle to treat them: ImageImage

BREAKING: The report into poor maternity care at #EastKent has been published and says it found a clear pattern of poor care leading to 45 baby deaths. Better care could have made a difference in 97 cases examined.

Read the report here: assets.publishing.service.gov.uk/government/upl…
"We have found that the Trust wrongly took comfort from the fact that the great majority of
births in East Kent ended with no damage to either mother or baby"

How often is that the stock phrase by NHS trusts in response to concerns? #EastKent
"The origins of the harm we have identified...lie in failures of teamworking, professionalism, compassion and listening" #EastKent Image

Exclusive: Actress @ruth_madeley is one of more than 70 spinal surgery patients recalled by Salford Royal Hospital over concerns about their care by surgeon Bradley Williamson amid allegations of a cover-up dating back a decade 1/8
thetimes.co.uk/article/1c67e3…
.@ruth_madeley has endured 9 operations by Williamson since the age of 11 but has been left in chronic pain and a twisted body. She has been told she has a screw that's too long protruding from her spine that is just mm away from a key blood vessel. 2/8
She and her family complained in 2012 and in 2016 but in both cases say their concerns were ignored or reports were just "paper exercises". Ruth said: "As a disabled person, I’m always going to need the NHS and to have that trust broken is a hard thing to navigate." 3/8

Britons have lost confidence in the NHS to provide timely treatment if they become unwell, a shock new poll for The Sunday Times reveals.

Voters also think the NHS is still underfunded, but don't support the taxes to pay for it 🧵1/n thetimes.co.uk/article/britai…
Despite fears for NHS funding, a majority of voters polled for The Sunday Times were against the increase in national insurance and want it reversed. They are also against Liz Truss plans to divert NHS cash to social care incl 62% of Tory voters 2/8 thetimes.co.uk/article/britai…
Plans by @SteveBarclay to launch a major overseas recruitment drive to boost the NHS and social care get the backing of 73% of the public in our weighted representative @YouGov poll 3/8 thetimes.co.uk/article/britai…

The crisis engulfing the NHS is getting worse - in July 40k patients delayed in ambulances outside A&E were harmed — enough to fill the O2 Arena in London twice over.

@tomhcalver and I look at links between the evolving disaster and rising deaths 1/9
thetimes.co.uk/article/6311fc…
On average, every day in July the equivalent of the entire London Ambulance Service and South Coast Ambulance Service response to 999 calls was lost due to paramedics stuck outside overcrowded A&Es - 4,916 hours lost every day. 2/9
Since the start of May, about 7,400 more people have died of non-Covid reasons than would be expected. The increase has been highest in southwest England, where ambulance delays are also the worst handover delays of any region. 3/9
