Accident and Emergency Departments: Standards
The question
To ask the Secretary of State for Health and Social Care, if he will make an assessment of the potential merits of regularly publishing data on incidents of corridor care in the NHS.
Answered by Karin Smyth
The Government is clear that patients should expect and receive the highest standard of service, and is determined to tackle the issue of corridor care.
Discussions on how to improve urgent and emergency care services are continuing, and we will continue to keep the data available and published to support that aim under review. Before the spring, we will set out the lessons learned from this winter and the improvements that we will put in place ahead of next winter.
