Under Conservative leadership, Camden And Islington NHS Foundation Trust has around 22 fewer beds than in 2010. That's a 10% drop in the number of beds for those who might desperately need them.

Unfortunately, similar things are being seen accross the country. Overall, there are 19552 fewer NHS beds in England than in 2010. That's a decrease of 15%.

Over 39% of NHS trusts have fewer beds, whereas only around 18% of trusts have significantly more. See our summary page for the whole of England.

Now, Brexit and an impending trade deal with the US threatens to increase the NHS drug bill from £18 billion to as much as £45 billion a year while shutting out the nurses, carers and other workers that the health service depends on.

Note: Over the past few months A&E attendance across England has fallen by more than 50% as people choose to stay at home to help reduce the pressure on the NHS during the current pandemic.
