England's National Health Service (NHS) on Monday announced a two-year recovery plan to help restore emergency care and frontline services, currently struggling through one of their toughest winters.

The state-funded NHS said it sought to reduce waiting times and improve patient experience under the plan, which includes 800 new ambulances and 5,000 new beds backed by a 1 billion pound fund.

Sunak, in office for just three months, has said cutting hospital waiting times is one of his major priorities. To make matters worse, ambulance workers and nurses have been on strike over pay, staffing, and investment levels that frontline staff say leave them ill-equipped to cope with record demand.

The government on Sunday announced that more elderly and vulnerable patients would be treated at home to avoid unnecessary trips to hospital, while the NHS said same-day emergency care units would try to reduce the number of people staying in hospital overnight.
