Answer from Hansard
The Secretary of State for Health and Social Care (Wes Streeting)
This Government are committed to fixing the NHS and reducing A&E waiting times. Our new urgent and emergency care plan is backed by nearly £400 million of investment to deliver new urgent treatment centres, mental health assessment centres and almost 400 new ambulances. Alongside that investment, we are reforming urgent and emergency care so that more patients are treated at the scene or in their homes where appropriate, which is better for them and will help to unclog A&E departments. Lots has been done, but there is much more to do.
