The government is expected to make an extra ?150m available for A&E units in England as they gear up for what looks set to be a tough winter, the BBC understands.

Ministers are known to be worried about how hospitals will cope this winter.

The major A&Es are already missing the four-hour waiting time target even though winter is just beginning.

The money comes on top of the ?500m bailout fund announced in the summer, which is being spread over two years.
