The Observer – Sunak’s Missed Targets Leave NHS Facing Winter Crisis

The Observer focuses on the NHS facing “another catastrophic winter crisis” because Rishi Sunak is failing to meet key targets he set for improving emergency care, leading to more delays for treatment. It says official data shows waits for emergency care, ambulance response times and the number of beds and bed occupancy are behind where they are expected.
