A ''sharp rise'' in demand in A&E units is causing real problems for hospitals, NHS bosses are warning.
The BBC has learnt some NHS trusts have even had to take extreme measures to cope with the ''exceptional'' pressures.
One hospital had to cancel all it's operations, while another considered setting up a temporary treatment area in a tent. Over the past fortnight there have been 45 closures of A&E units - up 50% on the same period last year. And so far this has been the mildest of winters.
We are enlightened that our that our innovation must match the challenge of our ageing population. And our ageing population is often described as a ''burden''.
Wasn't when they built the wealth of our country. I thought the burden was our leaders not listening to their own people (particularly over the last 20 - years). I thought the idea was for government to plan 'before the horse had bolted.
Those that are expecting operations might be getting very anxious. Those that can afford ''private'' care, wont. (hello Cameron, Blair, & Co, 
).
