FAKE NEWS for the Zionist agenda The UK health watchdog says more than 600,000 patients a year are being forced to wait over 24 hours in Accident & Emergency (A&E) departments.
The Care Quality Commission (CQC) presented the figure in a report released on Tuesday, amid concerns that A&E units are struggling even before the busy winter period has set in.
The CQC report was based on a survey of 40,000 visitors to casualty units across the country about their experiences.
According to the study, more than one in three patients said they were forced to wait at least four hours in A&E before being treated.
In addition, the survey revealed that more than one in 10 patients arriving at A&E by ambulance had to wait at least half an hour to be handed over to hospital staff.
Katherine Murphy, Chief Executive of the Patients Association, commented on the large number of patients forced to wait over a day in A&E, calling it “outrageous.”
“Long waits in emergency departments are hugely distressing for patients, who are at their most vulnerable,” said Murphy, adding, “Time spent waiting on hospital trolleys robs patients of their dignity and causes additional and unnecessary suffering.”
The current UK government launched austerity measures when it came to power in 2010 in a bid to tackle the country’s mounting debt and sluggish growth. Since then, over 7,000 NHS clinical staff members, including doctors and nurses, have been made redundant.
