NHS Health Check: Hunt says NHS problems 'unacceptable'

[Northerner]

Health Secretary Jeremy Hunt has conceded the NHS in England is facing "completely unacceptable" problems.

He said there was "no excuse" for some of the difficulties highlighted during the BBC's NHS week and the government had a plan to help hospitals cope.

A series of reports has revealed lengthening waits in A&E and patients being left for hours on trolleys.

Sir Robert Francis QC, who investigated failings in Mid Staffordshire, said the NHS was facing an "existential crisis".

However, in an exclusive interview with the BBC, Mr Hunt said the key was to treat more people "at home and in the community" to ease the burden on hard-pressed hospitals.

He's a hypocrite of the worst kind who can shed crocodile tears over the suffering HE has played a major part in creating 😡

I totally agree with you @Northerner.

I can't bear to watch the man. I've only ever worked for the NHS in England, and he's ruining it. It's a disaster. Too many layers of management. And have you noticed how it's the doctors and nurses they interview in hospitals, never the 'managers'?

Waiting times for decking Jeremy Hunt have reached record levels.

As the NHS’ problems continue to grow, so too has the desire to physically assault the so-called Health Secretary.

“It’s a disgrace,” said NHS patient, Simon Williams.
