Rishi Sunak has revealed details of a government plan that aims to cut NHS waiting times in urgent and emergency care.
The Prime Minister highlighted five key points that the government is implementing in an effort to help the challenges faced in emergency departments across the North East and the rest of the country. The points were revealed during a visit to the North East on Monday morning, where he was highlighting the Government's healthcare initiative in Darlington.
Capacity, increasing the workforce, discharge, more care outside of hospital, and improving the 111 service are the points the Government is implementing to make a difference to the NHS, Mr Sunak said. He added that the points are going to have an "enormous amount of support" to help trusts that are in need the most.
