Corona in England: Dead and chaos in front of clinics - Long waiting times bring emergency rooms close to collapse
Internal documents, from which the PA news agency quoted on Thursday, paint a disastrous picture of the current situation in England.
In a letter, the head of the NHS health service calls for the queues of ambulances in front of emergency rooms to be ended and ambulances no longer to be used as additional waiting rooms.
As can also be seen from the internal documents, the risk for patients is currently enormous.
The medical director of the NHS, Stephen Powis, and the head of the NHS emergency services, Pauline Philip, emphasized this in the letter.
The actual requirement is to bring a patient from the ambulance to the emergency room within 15 minutes.
But as Martin Flaherty from the Association of Rescue Service Providers emphasizes, this is not possible due to the current corona pandemic.
For example, distance rules would slow down everyday life, and ambulance staff are under pressure even after contact with infected people.
In this case, the person concerned must isolate himself immediately.
Since April, the number of times an ambulance has to wait in front of a clinic has increased almost tenfold.
In September, emergency rooms treated 1.39 million people - more than ever before in a month.

A similar case had occurred in Cambridge.
As can also be seen from the cited document, a patient had to be cared for by an ambulance crew for more than 13 hours, in some other cases there was "serious damage" due to late treatment.
