The Health Secretary has said that using volunteer crews will help alleviate the county's chronic ambulance waiting times crisis.
Steve Barclay said the Government was committed to dealing with pressures on health services including record waiting times for surgery and GP appointments, and ambulance handover delays.
He told the Shropshire Star the Government recognised there were"major challenges" in the NHS and was working"constructively" with clinicians to solve them.The Government's solution, he said, was to recruit more primary care staff and to make better use of technology to help guide patients to the right service, which may not always be a GP.
"This is about much more than pressure in terms of ambulances and access to GPs, it's about the wider care network and the increased demand. "That is two weeks away, and yet Steve Barclay and Boris Johnson are still ignoring all the warnings and sailing us straight towards the iceberg," she said.

Characterizing clinical pediatric obesity subtypes using electronic health record dataAuthor summary Childhood obesity is a significant public health challenge in the United States. Despite its prevalence, it remains uncertain if pediatric obesity represents a single condition or is composed of different subtypes with possibly different underlying causes. Electronic Health Records (EHRs) are an important source of data that may be analyzed to yield clinical and epidemiological insights to aid in the obesity treatment and prevention. In this paper, we present a study of EHR data that aimed to identify clinically similar subtypes among a population of newly obese pediatric patients. Specifically, we examine whether certain temporal condition patterns associated with childhood obesity incidence tend to cluster together to characterize subgroups of clinically similar patients. We identified eight potential subtypes, differentiated by the prevalence of various diagnoses including respiratory and sleep disorders, inflammatory skin conditions, asthma, and seizure disorders. This work may be used as a foundation for future investigations into pediatric obesity subtypes as well as to inform methodological and clinical research to mine EHR data for potential insights that improve patient health outcomes.
