Rishi Sunak called an emergency meeting. The council must address health concerns caused by the increased incidence of the coronavirus disease.
British Prime Minister Rishi Sunak has called an urgent meeting of ministers, medics and leaders due to the rise in coronavirus cases and overcrowded hospitals. AP reports.
It was noted that the council must solve the health problems caused by the increased incidence of the coronavirus disease. In addition, the UK healthcare system is now experiencing an increase in the incidence of influenza and other seasonal viral diseases, as well as staff shortages after Brexit.
Thousands of hospital beds in Britain are filled with people who could be discharged but have nowhere to go because of a lack of long-term care beds. In the past week, only one-third of patients ready to be discharged from hospitals in England actually made it home, according to official figures. This has resulted in ambulances being stuck outside hospitals with patients they cannot transport, and people with urgent health problems waiting hours for paramedics to arrive.
In addition, as a result of inflation, some medical workers were not getting enough pay, so nurses and ambulance personnel went on strike.
Medical union leaders are expected to meet with government representatives on Monday to discuss their demands and try to resolve these issues outside of strikes. The crisis has sparked discussion about how to finance and manage the national health service. At the moment, it is financed from the budget, but these funds are not enough to cover the load.
It was previously reported that China was covered in a new wave of coronavirus. Authorities said the death toll from COVID-19 is rising but within the normal range for the country. The Chinese, on the other hand, are reporting on social media about the dire consequences of the current outbreak of the disease.
Britain has decided to treat COVID as a cold
