The NHS is struggling to meet targets as the health service is being used by more patients than ever before, according to data published by NHS England.
The data shows that 1.65 million A&E attendees were admitted, transferred or discharged within four hours. While 84.2% of patients were admitted, transferred or discharged within four hours – marking a 6.3% increase since February last year – A&E departments still failed to meet targets of 95%. The 95% mark was last met in July 2018.
