I INTEND to put this question to the next full council meeting of Wiltshire Council: 17 per cent of patients in our area wait more than four hours to be seen in A&E. The official government target is a maximum of five per cent.
£290 is the funding gap for the NHS in our area. These are figures for the NHS in Bath, Swindon and Wiltshire.
Would you agree that these figures are unacceptable?
And would you agree it’s time to start to hold the Government to account who seem to think it’s acceptable to cut funding for these vital services?
