PM urged by medical association to recall parliament 'immediately' to discuss 'NHS crisis'
In the letter, DAUK say"up to 500 people are dying each week because of delays in emergency care" and warn the PM that NHS staff are reporting"the worst conditions they have seen within the service".
"Now we have a situation where people are having intimate examinations in cupboards, patients are waiting up to 99 hours in an ambulance in an A&E bay, unable to get a bed inside a hospital. Ms Allin-Khan said the state of the NHS is an"acute crisis" and described doctors and nurses as being"absolutely broken".
Concerns are mounting about the current state of public healthcare, with well over a dozen NHS trusts and ambulance services having declared critical incidents over the festive period.But the British Medical Association has accused the government's"political choices" of leading to patients"dying unnecessarily".
