Hundreds of thousands fewer patients will face long A&E waits, the Government has pledged, as it also set out plans to try and end “corridor care”.

Almost £450 million will be put into creating better care and more facilities, with an emphasis on caring for people closer to their homes, according to the Department of Health and NHS England.
