He's urgently tackling the situation by fiddling the 4 hour A&E target figures so they look better. Good to see he's on the ball.
Apparently the A&E crisis is all our fault and we need to have an "honest discussion"(that's government speak for "we know we cocked it up but we don't have a clue what to do so basically you're screwed") .Now i can understand that some people go when they shouldn't go for minor ailments and so on but in some cases it is the only way to get any kind of treatment because doctors surgeries are full (dependent on where you live) walk in centers are next to useless because most don't have doctors in them and the phone service(whatever it's name is this week) simply refers people to A&E because the people on the other end are not doctors or nurses,not to mention a lot of A&E centers have been closed and the services concentrated in one area without upgrading the staff levels and funding .

Perhaps a bus full of money from the EU is in order
