Winter Pressures

The PMOS drew journalists’ attention to a report today from Sir George Alberti, who was in charge of the Government’s emergency care strategy. Sir George had presented an assessment of the NHS’s performance during the winter months to the Health Secretary, John Reid. The report showed that this winter had been “a success story for the NHS”. In acknowledging that, we wished to pay tribute to the outstanding work of NHS staff in making that happen. John Reid had also pointed out today that the fact that a record number of pensioners had had the flu jabs was also a major contributing factor.

  1. A mild winter has had its benefits for the performance of trains and hospitals. But they’re both probably due a lucky break or two.
