UK: 'NHS vulnerable to winter crisis' - Deeside Today

Labour has claimed that the NHS is more exposed to a winter crisis than at any time over the past decade.
Cuts being demanded across the health service by the Scottish Government have been blamed for the problem, by Labour health spokesman Richard Simpson.

The number of blocked beds has doubled to more than 90, while the overall number of beds has dropped slightly.

Mr Simpson said on Sunday: "The NHS is less prepared this winter than at any time in the last decade. I am deeply concerned that hospitals will struggle to cope if the cold weather continues - we could see patients on trolleys in hospital corridors.
