Pressure 'easing' on busy A&E units

Pressure 'easing' on busy A&E units Pressures on busy A&E units have begun to ease in England, but hospitals still remain over-crowded, NHS figures show.

Latest weekly data up to last Sunday showed the number of times ambulances have been delayed waiting outside A&E fell by nearly a quarter to 12,500.

Bed closures due to the vomiting bug norovirus have also fallen.

But NHS England warned the cold snap expected to hit the north of England over the next few days could lead to an increase in illnesses. BBC News
