The government is thinking of modifying its 4-hour residence time in an A&E department as it is impractical. Things have evidently got no better in the decade since I last sat at someone’s bedside, listening to the count-down at the nurse’s station, and then watching the customer be pushed out of the A&E at the last second, only to be parked in a corridor for a while until the ward had prepared a slot for her.
Bullet-biting can be uncomfortable, especially when there are out-of-office politicians looking for any sign of change to use as an excuse for a claim of how wonderful things would be if only the public were stupid enough to vote for them.
