It's been reported that rising pressure on hospitals has had an impact on A&E waiting
00:06
times, with a patient at one hospital having to wait 50 hours.

This comes as this winter has been coined a quaddemic, with flu, norovirus, covid and
00:14
RSV circulating at the same time.
00:17
The UK's chief emergency doctor, Adrian Boyle, said that the flu outbreak had severe consequences
00:23
for already overwhelmed hospitals.
00:25
Furthermore, National Medical Director of NHS England, Professor Sir Stephen Powis,
00:30
reportedly said that the demand showed no signs of letting up.
00:34
It's reported that the North East is seeing the most hospitalisations from influenza,
00:38
with that number in the thousands.
00:40
In the Midlands, there are reportedly almost 300 people hospitalised for flu in Birmingham.
00:46
Health Secretary Wes Streeting reportedly said that we've got this extraordinary pressure
00:51
on flu, where we've got between three and four times as many hospital beds taken up
00:56
with flu cases this year than we did this time last year.
