NHS hospital bosses urge ministers to increase ICU beds in England

NHS hospital bosses urge ministers to increase ICU beds in England Expansion of capacity must be lasting legacy of Covid-19, says NHS Providers chief executive.

Hospital chiefs are urging ministers to expand the NHS’s supply of beds in intensive care units, which have borne the brunt of the Covid-19 pandemic over the last year.

It is unsafe for patients and unfair on frontline staff for the health service to continue with one of the lowest numbers of intensive care beds in Europe, they have told the Guardian.
