What happened

Some supportReported by 1 outlet

A review of over 19,000 patients in National Health Service hospitals found that the chance of dying in the subsequent 28 days rose by 1 percent for every 10 percent increase in emergency department occupancy. The study focused on 134 A&Es, which averaged an occupancy rate of 175 percent, holding nearly double their intended capacity. The Royal College of Nursing stated that increased crowding in emergency departments is linked to higher mortality for admitted patients.
