Breitbart London:
The number of people forced to wait long periods in ambulances rose dramatically during the Christmas period, whilst Britain’s hospitals were dangerously full.
National Health Service (NHS) figures show 16,893 patients waited more than 30 minutes in ambulances at Accident and Emergency (A&E) departments in the week before New Year’s Eve.
This represents a 42 per cent rise on the 11,900 which endured half hour handover waits the week previously. Those stuck for more than an hour almost doubled, shooting up by 95 per cent to 4,700 compared to 2,400 the week before.
In the same week before the year’s end, bed occupancy was at 91.7 per cent, the same figures also reveal, well over the 85 per cent level considered safe.
Twenty-two NHS trusts hit bed occupancy of 100 per cent during the final week of December for periods of up to five days. more here

On the plus side, NHS ambulances aren’t mowing down pedestrians…yet.

oh, it get’s better …. NHS just cancelled ALL non-emergency operations until …. maybe next month… who knows?
buuuuuuuuut … it’s better than last year when they cancelled operations at ‘the end of the year’ … “….it is better, if you are unfortunately going to have to cancel or postpone some operations, to do it in a planned way”
No Shit! … exactly what they said
