Dear all
I am just catching up so someone may have commented already  but "College" in the form of John Heyworth, has had multiple press opportunities since this story  broke and is working on a statement for our members of advice re the issues. it is an opportunity to point out the benefits of more EM consultants in the ED to provide supervision, support and safer systems. We also know from talking to one of the new consultants who are in post there now, that there have been major improvements already - a point that should also be brought out. 

Sadly targets appear to be here to stay - and JH is making the point that more realistic targets (95%) would reduce the need to push sick people through an inflexible system.

You obviously inhabit the nice part of the NHS (I didn't know there was one)! We
are still being oushed about 98% daily and have recently been told by the PCT
that they want to introduce 2 hours for all patients! Very worrying in my
opinion.
