Theresa May: The NHS is better prepared than ever before Theresa May has said the NHS had never been better prepared for winter than it was this year, despite 16,900 people having to wait more than 30 minutes to be seen by staff at emergency departments over the Christmas week.
Thousand of operations have been delayed for up to a month to help cope with the crisis.
The prime minister told the BBC's The Andrew Marr show the postponement of operations was "part of the plan".
"The NHS has actually been better prepared for this winter pressures than it has been before.
"It's about making sure that those who most urgently need care are able to get that treatment when they need it," she said.
