The NHS faces unprecedented demand and deteriorating performance, with 2 million people waiting for community services and significant delays in outpatient treatment, illustrating systemic failures.
The report emphasizes that the deficiencies in the NHS can't be attributed solely to the pandemic, indicating a long-standing decline that has worsened over the years.
Good social welfare and preventive health measures are crucial in maintaining effective health service levels, yet the current system is failing at all tiers leading to unnecessary emergency admissions.
The urgent need for advanced care conversations prior to hospitalization is highlighted, as many patients wait longer in A&E, increasing their risk of adverse outcomes.
