But no-one - least of all the "journalists" will either read all that or report on it. Like someone else suggested is the real problem not the targets and government intervention but the overutilisation of an emergency service by those who have no real medical emergency. When are the people who need help and don't get it going to start pointing their fingers at the drunks and neerdowells who plague the likes of Tom and my brother (A&E Cons) with stuff they or their GP should look after ???
