#SopCop General Hospital is located in a mountainous border province, in charge of providing #healthcare service to people in 8 communes. There's only 1 #doctor certified for #emergency #resuscitation practice. Number of #medical workers has remained unchanged for yrs because they can't recruit new workers.

More than 400,000 people have been waiting more than a year for routine NHS treatment, like hip ops.
That number has continued to rise in recent month.
Rising long waits make eliminating even longer waits harder
Waits of this length are supposed to be eliminated by March 2025.

There are now 7.1 million people on NHS England waiting lists.
And the reduction in numbers waiting more than 18 months has ground to a halt - numbers dropped from 50,888 in August to 50,539 in September.
Target is to eliminate those waits by March.
I'm assuming the target went out the window about three health secretaries ago.

It's hard to admit people to ward beds (which is causing delays in A&Es and ambulances) when it's hard to discharge people who need care at home instead but can't get it.
Average daily beds occupied by people who are well enough to to be discharged but who are delayed in hospital:
April: 12,589
May: 12,219
June: 11,590
July: 12,899
Aug: 13,388
Sep: 13,305
Oct: 13,613

A&Es aren't substantially busier than before - attendances have mostly returned to pre-pandemic levels (there's about 1,500 more attendances in Oct 22 compared to Oct 19).
Number of emergency admissions is a bit lower (it might be with bed space very limited, criteria becomes tighter).

The chances you'll face a long wait if you go to A&E are increasing.
Generally, 69.3% of arrivals in Oct waited less than four hours to be admitted, discharged or transferred (so three in 10 waited more).
In major A&Es, 54.8% waited less than four hours (so nearly half waited longer)

43,792 people spent more than 12 hours stuck on a trolley in A&E waiting for a ward bed in Oct.
That was up by a third compared to 32,776 in Sept.
A few hundred of these waits was considered a poor performance in past winters - it's now thousands and rising (and this is Oct).
