Oral Answers to Questions

Debate between Rob Roberts and Helen Whately

Tuesday 23rd January 2024 Commons Chamber

[Helen Whately]

My hon. Friend is right. I know how much work he did when he had oversight of urgent and emergency care services, which included his contribution to our urgent and emergency care recovery plan that was published almost a year ago. That plan included a host of steps to improve the flow through hospitals, including investment in bed management systems, as he described. The plan is working, which is why we are improving the flow through hospitals and seeing reductions in delayed discharges.
