Liberal Democrats Thousands of patients are lying on trolleys in corridors for
hours on end.

Dear John,

30,000. That’s how many people wait for over 12 hours in A&E departments
every single week.

It’s a national scandal, and it’s worse than ever.

Thousands of patients are lying on trolleys in corridors for hours on end. No
privacy. No dignity.

There have even been tragic cases of people dying on those trolleys and left
undiscovered for hours.

The A&E corridor crisis has to end. And today, we’ve set out a plan to end it.

We’d stop so many people being forced to go to A&E in the first place, with
ourGP Guarantee <[link removed]> – so everyone can see a GP
within seven days, or 24 hours if it’s urgent.

And we’d stop so many people being stuck in hospital long after they’re well
enough to leave – by putting in place the care and support they need.

That means a combination of reserving places in care homes, funding more care
packages for people after they leave hospital, and supporting family carers
properly to look after their loved ones at home.

And we’d pay for it by scrapping the government’s plan
<[link removed]> to hand an
extra £3 billion a year to pharmaceutical giants, just to appease Donald Trump.

With our package, the government could end the scandal of 12-hour A&E waits
altogether by the end of this year. And we’d put a legal duty on the Health
Secretary to deliver it.

That is the kind of real change our country needs, and it’s the kind of
change the Liberal Democrats will keep fighting for.

We are the only party offering a real plan to fix our NHS. The Conservatives
can’t – they caused this crisis in the first place. Labour can’t – things are
getting worse on their watch. And Nigel Farage just wants to privatise the NHS
and turn our United Kingdom into Trump’s America.

As we head towards crucial local elections this May, only the Liberal
Democrats are standing up for patients and fighting to save our NHS.

Because never again should a single person have to watch their loved one die
on a trolley in a hospital corridor.

Yours sincerely,






Ed Davey MP (he/him)
Leader of the Liberal Democrats
