Professor Julian Redhead, NHS England national clinical director for urgent and emergency care, said the data collected during this season’s situation reports show “how hard staff across the NHS have worked this winter in the face of significant demand and ongoing industrial action, with more than 1.7 million people taken to hospitals by ambulance since the week ending November 26 – 260,000 more than the same comparable period a year ago – and 7.2 million calls answered by NHS 111, hundreds of thousands more than last winter”.
