After nearly a decade of Conservative rule, on average, 3130 more people each month are being left to wait over four hours at A&E at your hospital than back in 2011.
And things are bad for the rest of England too. Each month over 400,000 more people are made to wait over four hours to be seen at A&E than in 2011.
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.
University Hospital Southampton NHS Foundation Trust is one of the lucky 18% of NHS England trusts which, under Conservative leadership, has more beds than in 2011. With an increase of around 200 beds.
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.

So far, there have been a total of 104,800 Covid-19 related deaths in English hospitals. 19 of these were recorded yesterday and 700 over the last seven days. Last updated: 26/1/2022.
Please note that these figures, particularly the most recent ones, are subject to change as new reports are made. Additionally, these figures do not include deaths outside hospital, such as those in care homes. For additional information, please see the official NHS page for Covid-19 death statistics.
Undoubtedly, Government failures have meant that more people have died from Covid-19 than they otherwise would have. From toying with the idea of 'herd immunity' instead of initiating an early lockdown to the failure to provide adequate PPE to frontline staff and an ineffective privately run track-and-trace system, the Governments response to the pandemic has been sadly inadequate.
Additionally, after a decade of underfunding and neglect, the NHS was ill-prepared for a pandemic of this scale. With A&E waiting times at an all-time high, and the number of overnight beds at an all-time low.
The NHS deserves better, we deserve better and we must unite in demanding better.
