Health Secretary Wes Streeting expressed deep distress over patients’ harrowing experiences in NHS hospitals this winter, describing their conditions as shocking and indicative of systemic failure.
Streeting highlighted the emotional toll on NHS staff, who, despite their hard work, witness the distress and suffering of patients in severely overcrowded hospitals.
Wes Streeting noted that some hospitals declared critical incidents due to overwhelming demand, where patients faced unacceptable conditions even on what was termed a 'good day'.
He pledged to ensure year-on-year improvements and mentioned that the government would soon release an urgent reform plan for urgent and emergency care.
