Taking A&E back to the 90s

HSJ Health Check

21-06-2024 • 26 mins

As the election campaign moves into its final weeks, the shadow health secretary has confirmed a huge policy commitment that wasn’t in the manifesto.

This week we look at what Wes Streeting’s commitment to hit 95 per cent in A&E performance for the first time in almost a decade would mean for the NHS.

We also hear about an ambitious plan to “save 300 lives a year” - and how bosses rubber-stamped a decision to abandon it.

With Ben Clover, Lawrence Dunhill and James Illman.
