    The number of patients waiting for an hour or more in the back of ambulances to be transferred into A&E has more than doubled the last three years, leading to ‘ambulance queues’ forming outside English A&Es.



    · Figures based of Freedom information requests to English Ambulance Trusts show that the number of patients who waited longer than 30 minutes to be transferred from an ambulance into A&E has increased by almost 60 per cent from 258,814 in 2013/14 to 412,837 in 2015/16.



    · Figures also show that over two times more patients waited longer than one hour in the back of an ambulance compared to 2013/14. In 2013/14 28,162 patients waited more than sixty minutes compared to 76,725 in 2015/16.



    · North West Ambulance Service has seen the number of people waiting 30 minutes or more increase by 119 per cent, from 17,984 in 2013/14 to 39,385 in 39,385 in 2015/16.


    Background

    · Guidance from the Department of Health states that an ambulance queue can occur “as a result of a temporary mismatch between A&E/hospital capacity and numbers of elective/emergency patients arriving”, and says that this “is not acceptable”.


    “Delaying ambulances outside A&E as a result of a temporary mismatch between A&E/hospital capacity and numbers of elective/emergency patients arriving is not acceptable. Well before the majors side of A&E becomes so full that significant queuing begins, the full hospital escalation plan (including cancelling routine operations, increasing consultant rounds to check for those ready for discharge) should have been implemented and the CCG as local commissioner alerted.”

    Sooner or later, unless the income of various taxes miraculously increases we are all going to have pay into this system in some other way.

    I.e the French system, bad idea, well they have the best health system in the world according to WHO, as we lie 18th!!

    And since we have the highest amount ever in history of people exempt from tax we are running out of cash for the NHS i'm afraid.
