NHS 'has busiest year in its history' The NHS in England has had the busiest year in its history with more patients than ever seeking help, official figures show.
Nearly 23m people visited A&E in the 12 months to March 2016 - a rise of more than 500,000 from the previous year.
Delays rose throughout the period, with March itself having the single worst performance against the four-hour A&E target since it was introduced in 2004.
Targets for cancer, routine operations and ambulances have also been missed. BBC News
