And we are already seeing hospitals discharge patients improperly because of external pressure.
Patients with cannulas bot removed before discharge. Patients discharged from hospital generating emergency ambulances hours after discharge.
The NHS is collapsing as we speak.
Vote Tory: Get Fucked.
Hard to swallow pill #1 : this is what freedom means in a pandemic. It may not be killing people directly but it’s filling up hospitals.
How exactly are hospital bosses supposed to pivot and suddenly be able to service more ambulance arrivals. Have they got a magic staff tree that they just shake and several more highly qualified triage staff appear and several more beds and a new A&E section just appears?
This situation is old and can be solved if we tackle the problem that is blocking discharge from the NHS; social and community care cuts and the lack of available safe discharge locations/methods.
