The NHS is facing a challenging situation as flu admissions surge amid ongoing strikes. With record numbers of patients in hospital, the NHS is on high alert. We delve into the latest figures and the impact of the strikes on healthcare services.
Flu cases have reached an all-time high for this time of year, with an average of 3,140 people hospitalized daily. This is a significant increase compared to previous years. While some regions, like the north-west of England, have seen a slight decrease in flu cases, other areas continue to experience a rise.
Prof. Meghana Pandit emphasizes that the NHS is not out of the woods yet, and the impact of strikes adds to the pressure. Critical care beds are occupied by flu patients, and other winter viruses are also straining the healthcare system.
Health Secretary Wes Streeting urges the public to get their flu jabs to protect themselves and ease the burden on the NHS. The strikes by resident doctors are a critical concern, but the NHS team is doing their best to keep services running.
