We do of course need to be clear what a hospital bed actually is.

A former boss of mine back in the '90s proudly boasted he worked on this definition of a bed.

Wow. That is eye-opening. So there is no requirement for staffing for it to be counted either.

I presume none of the official figures count the empty nightingales.

As posted upthread, there are hospital admission figures released by NHS England today,, however they are not showing on the Government dashboard.

It's also strange that the UK death figure is 332 (317 England) on the dashboard, when NHS England alone announced 365 today. It suggests that the dashboard is still lagging in deaths.

Number breakdown here. Nothing was reported since 24th Dec, so 362 is almost a weeks data in one day

There is a 5-6 day lag on the Governments dashboard as far as Hospital numbers are concerned.

We won't see the impact of the information in Badgers post until middle of next week.

Wow! There should be special sentencing legislation to lock them up until the end of the pandemic. In fact, come to think of it, isn't that an appropriate sentence in a secure metal hospital and where they ought to be?

At the West Suffolk, and I'm sure at other hospitals, they have a pre-discharge unit (or something like that).

You go there from A&E when you no longer need to be lying down. It's an area with armchairs, so you're not in a hospital bed.

Then a nurse comes along and either checks your blood pressure or asks you to pass urine*, and then tells you to go home.

(*I think you're asked to do whichever entirely at random)

I’m amazed there isn’t a law that allows the courts to charge them with something. What about Patel’s new laws banning ‘noisy’ protest. Sh*t, regressive legislation, but if ever it was needed...

PFI would be a good idea if the Government were bankrupt and had no access to capital. Instead, the Government can raise as much as it wants to (when it wants to pay its friends).

The only people to benefit from PFI are the private companies profiting from investing in public services.

It is like saying you are better off taking a 2.5% loan over 20 years for a new car instead of paying up front because you won't have to spend £10K on the car when in fact you have £20K in your bank at 0.25% interest rate. Even before realising you then have to pay a further 2.5% insurance in case you can't pay the loan back. PFI is, was and always will be a dreadful idea for any but a bankrupt Government.


thatcher and major, for ideological reasons, like to see the government as bankrupt.

The Treasury liked the idea because the utilities (the earliest victims of privatisation) needed billions in capital investment which it didn't want to have to raise. So they laid off the risk to the private sector.

And we still have predominantly Victorian sewers.

Then the firms of consultants, keen to rob daft ministers, urged more and more services be privatised, primarily for the fees from 'advising' one or both sides to the contract.

The hours I wasted in meetings about market testing, PFI etc etc.....

To be fair, that's a good idea in theory. Every time a family member has been in hospital, I'd say they were verbally discharged about 12 hours before actually leaving due to paperwork and prescriptions not being ready.

Mainly a staffing issue, though, isn't it? More nurses and doctors available to do the discharge would mean less time spent waiting and less requirement for the space.

A little curious to know about the colour rating here. What comes after "very dark black"? And after that? Do we just add extra descriptive terms like extremely and impenetrably?

NHS staff absent with Covid is now 100% higher than a month ago at 24,500.

Hospitalisations are 100% higher than 2 weeks ago at 12,500

And yet Boris does nothing…

Interestingly todays dashboard shows admissions data up to the 27th but numbers in hospital up to the 29th! Numbers 1915 and 11918 respectively.

Adding to this is significant increased positivity.

Before Omicron it averaged around 5%

Now in London it is almost 30%. UK average is 24.5%.
