An accident and emergency doctor has said he has been forced to see some patients outside his hospital’s front door due to pressures.
David Caesar wrote in The Times that there is a sense of “impending doom” among doctors as Hogmanay approaches.
His comments come as NHS A&E waiting times performance hit another record low, with just 55% of patients seen and subsequently admitted, discharged or transferred within the four-hour target in the week to December 18.
