ONE million more patients have been treated in A&E than this time last year, new NHS figures show.
An NHS England spokesperson said: “Hospitals now have more beds open than this time last year, but flu and norovirus have kicked in a bit earlier so are adding pressure at a time when the NHS is already looking after significantly more people than ever before.
"We need to urgently support our staff throughout the NHS as they are reaching the stage of utter exhaustion after more than two years of unrelenting and increasing stress and workload. Washing your hands properly removes dirt, viruses and bacteria and stops them passing to other people and objects, which can spread illnesses such as colds, flu, food poisoning or norovirus.If you do not have immediate access to soap and water then use alcohol-based handrub if available.
I am 73yrs old went down with Cold Sunday bought some max strength cold/flu capsules from ASDA stayed in bed til Wednesday. Up and about today and feeling fine. Why can't people help themselves instead of clogging up NHS Hospitals for trivial ilnesses.
