In Government, we established the Emergency Department Taskforce to drive long term solutions to overcrowding in A&Es and to address the issue of delayed discharges which contributes to that overcrowding. We will increase the number of locations of care for less serious injury. We will reform work practices and the allocation of staff within hospitals by implementing the recommendations of the Emergency Department taskforce on the need for systemic change in dealing with discharges, ranging from a broadening of the role of advanced nurse practitioners to cross-team discharging and changes to the organisation of the working day within hospitals.
