A&E patients face long waits as winter bites Huge pressures at hospitals across the NHS over the last month have led to long delays for patients seeking emergency care, figures suggest.
The NHS England December data showed record delays in A&E with one in five patients waiting more than four hours.
A key problem seems to have been a shortage of beds on wards.
The figures show nearly 100,000 of the sickest patients faced hours stuck on trolleys and waiting in corridors while beds were found for them. BBC News
