Prof Sir Stephen Powis warns that the NHS is facing unprecedented strain with 95% bed occupancy, exacerbated by rising rates of flu and norovirus ahead of winter.
The government's focus on achieving 18-week targets for non-urgent care is criticized, with senior doctors arguing they are ignoring the urgent crisis in emergency care.
Dr Tim Cooksley highlights that patients in need of emergency care are facing 'appalling conditions and prolonged waits', posing a serious challenge for the NHS this winter.
The winter surge in hospitalizations due to flu and other viruses is unprecedented, with an urgent call for coordinated recovery efforts in emergency and elective care.
