Today's urgent and emergency care recovery plan - a quick🧵

TLDR: Pragmatic set of measures to improve flow and ease UEC pressures, but underpowered and too focused on finding short-term fixes for long-term problems Ambulance services and A&E departments are under huge pressure, leading to longer response times, delayed handovers and long waits.

Behind the numbers are patients left in pain, enduring unnecessary suffering and, in some cases, lives tragically lost.

Response to today's @NHSEngland stats.

Started in health policy 22 years ago. Been working with these stats on & off for 15 years - mainly on. I cannot remember a worse time for urgent & emergency care.

This is about much more than cold weather, flu, COVID or strikes. Short🧵 COVID made existing problems worse, but NHS performance was already going in the wrong direction long before the pandemic.

As @Quality_Watch analysis has shown.

That's an important story (discussed below) but it doesn't feel radically new - we get a lot of data on A&E every month via @NHSEnglandStats /2
