NHS faces 'bleakest winter yet' as number waiting 12 hours in A&E for bed doubles Twice as many patients spent 12 hours or more sitting in A&E trolleys waiting for a bed in November as in the same month last year, as experts warn of the ”the bleakest winter” in NHS history.
A&E performance figures show 54,000 people waited more than four hours for a bed after the hospital had decided they were sick enough to admit.
In this figure, 258 patients waited more than 12 hours for a bed, compared to just 107 waiting in November 2017.
The numbers released on Tuesday reveal the worst November A&E performance on record, with just 87.6 per cent of patients admitted, treated or sent home within four hours attending A&E. The Independent
