Surgeons and emergency doctors told the Health and Social Care Select Committee yesterday that COVID-free hospital facilities should urgently be set up to start tackling the backlog of cases. Dr Katherine Henderson of The Royal College of Emergency Medicine set out in detail how a new accident and emergency (A&E) system could work, so that social distancing measures can be maintained.

In response I therefore asked what is needed from the Government for such changes to be made, and whether her proposals are a long term solution to some of the challenges our A&E units face.
