End the A&E Crisis

Woman sat on chair waiting in a hospital corridor

Every week more than 30,000 people suffer degrading waits of over 12 hours in A&E in England. 1 in 5 patients were treated in trolleys or chairs in corridors.

Patients and hard-working NHS staff have been let down by both the Conservatives and Labour.

Liberal Democrats are demanding a new law to end 12 hour waits and hospital ‘corridor care’ within a year. 

We'd give the Health Secretary a legal duty to ensure patients are admitted within 12 hours. And we'd invest in the NHS and social care to make 6,000 extra hospital beds available and end corridor care.

 

 

End the A&E Crisis

I back the Lib Dem plan to end the A&E crisis with a new law to end 12 hour waits and make 6,000 extra hospital beds available to end corridor care.
