Hunt demands NHS hits target for A&E care

Hunt demands NHS hits target for A&E care Jeremy Hunt has told NHS hospitals they must get back to meeting the target for seeing patients swiftly in A&E.

In a speech on Thursday, the health secretary said it was "critical for patient safety".

The target of seeing 95% of patients in four hours has been missed in England since July 2015. There was a record low of 85.1% in January.

Mr Hunt demanded progress this year and said the target should be hit next year after new funding in the Budget. BBC News
