“Reducing waits for everyone is our top priority and we're doing everything we can, including introducing a new route to initial assessment, getting patients treated an average of 37 minutes quicker. And initiatives to keep frail, older patients out of A&E where possible; 70 per cent of calls to our frailty line, staffed by geriatricians, have avoided A&E attendance; and our Frailty Same Day Emergency Care (FSDEC) unit is helping reduce the number of older patients on our corridors.”
