@newsbuzz247: The number of patients waiting 12 hours or more in A&E to be admitted to a ward has hit a new record high. Figures from NHS England show that in January, 61,529 people waited more than 12 hours in A&E departments from the decision to admit them to actually being admitted, up from 54,207 in December. It breaks the December 2022 record of 54,573 patients waiting to be admitted to a different hospital ward. The record comes as the number of hospital beds being occupied by patients who were medically fit to be discharged also hit a new record for this winter, with an average of 14,087 beds taken up by these patients. Near-record case numbers of the winter vomiting bug norovirus are also continuing to maintain pressure on England’s hospitals. #NHS #NHSUK #Hospital #WinterFlu #HealthCareNews #Healthcare #CanNews #NewsBuzz247 #TikTokNews #healthyrecipes #Scottish #ScottishGum #UK #UKHealthCrisis #HealthCrisis #HealthEmergency #Emergency #fy #fyf #fyp
