What are the statistics behind the pressures the NHS has been under this Christmas?
Ambulances have been waiting outside hospital as there are not enough available beds.
Figures from the ambulance service showed that between 20 and 27 December, 3,286 patients were taken to hospital - 16% fewer than last year. More than 60,700 contacts, which include calls and messages, were received in the last week. About 17,000 calls were answered. We can become a little numb to the phrase "pressures on the NHS", but today we see perfect examples of them.
