A&E Waits for Elderly Are Out of Control

Did you know over a million people aged 60+ in England waited 12+ hours in A&E this year? Many are stuck on trolleys in corridors, missing out on vital checks for things like delirium and fall risk. The older you are, the longer you wait—if you’re over 90, there’s a 1 in 3 chance you’ll be waiting half a day. Doctors are calling this a crisis and demanding urgent changes. This is wild! #NHS #PatientSafety #AandE #HealthcareCrisis #ElderlyCare #Health
