End the A&E Crisis!

End the A&E Crisis in Lambeth

The Liberal Democrats have announced a new national plan to end the A&E Crisis - in Lambeth and across the country. Sign our petition below to support our plan!

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 our GP Guarantee – 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 to hand an extra £3 billion a year to pharmaceutical giants, just to appease Donald Trump.

I back the Lib Dem plan to end the A&E crisis with a new law to end 12 hour waits and make 6,000 extra hospital beds available to end corridor care. We propose to pay for this by scrapping the Labour government's plan to spend an extra £3b to meet Donald Trump's demand we pay more to pharmaceutical giants.
