Baroness Finlay of Llandaff (CB)
My Lords, will the Government now ask NHSE to publish the 12-hour length of stay times for emergency departments in order to be able to evaluate the efficacy of the proposed 7,000 beds and financial investment? Data shows that, at the moment, 52% of all emergency medicine trainees are already burned out. On top of that, there is the flight of nurses from emergency departments because of stress. The emergency departments are already in crisis, yet the key data on 12-hour waits there is not being collected.
Lord Markham (Con)
I do not have the detail on the 12-hour wait-list at this moment, but I will come back to the noble Baroness with a detailed written response.
