It is pretty clear the #NHS urgent and emergency care system is falling over tonight. Just hours before #AmbulanceStrikes are set to start.

This will be deadly for some. A reminder of what is happening without strikes:

@shaunlintern The #NHS is struggling no doubt about it and policy and funding chiefs who control money and resources are ignoring and playing with live. Shocking for a 1st world country

@shaunlintern In your view Shaun, has the situation got progressively worse because of policy, investment or a changing demographic? Or is it all three in equal measure?

@shaunlintern Thanks for the important reporting of this crisis.

I’m 70 and never remember anything this bad. And wilfully.

The Conservatives don't seem to understand that their first job should be to run the basic functions of the country effectively.
Only then should they start on their vanity projects.
