Emergency bed days target met early

Health Minister,Rosie Winterton has congratulated the NHS on meeting the Long Term Conditions Public Service Agreement target early:

“I am very pleased that there has been a reduction in emergency bed days in 2005/06 of 5.4% – some 1.7 million bed days – compared to the 2003/04 baseline year. This means that the national target of 5% by 2008 has been met early.

“Though this is a significant achievement, continued efforts and reform are vital if we are to maintain these important improvements in patient care and sustain bed day reductions into the future.”
