Announced in today's budget, the momentum of funding is directedto try to alleviate the chronic shortage of bed that the NHS is currently low.
The extra money is designed to support and develop facilities GP at the site in the departments of A & E in England by next winter.
This will allow more accurate assessment of disease of the patient, helping to reduce waiting time at the service of health, prevention of unnecessary deaths. But critics argue that having extra doctors in A & E will not reduce income, if anything that might attract more patientsto hospitals. Dr. Mark Porter, Council Chairman of the British MedicalAssociation, said: ' the crisis in the NHS does not stop at the door of the hospital, our A & E are fighting for an overloaded system.
' Having GPs in A & E will not reduce admissions - in this case couldhave the effect of attracting more patients to hospitals '.
Upon arrival at A & E, patients must register at reception to give a brief description of his injuries.
In the waiting room, your blood pressure, heart rate and body temperature, they are evaluated by a triage nurse to determine exactly what so urgent is its condition.
After this, the patient is then put on waiting list for treatment, which fluctuates according to demand.
Since 2004, hospitals have had the aim of try, evaluate and download95 percent of his patients in four hours.
But recently, more and more lack the set objective, risking the lives of many patients up and down the country.
1.4 million visits to hospitals in England in January, only 82 percent were seen within the designated period, the data showed.
And more than 60,000 people had to wait 12 hours for a bed said that it should be admitted.
Simon Stevens, Executive Director of NHS England, previously said the members of the Board of NHS England service health under pressure, but thanked the staff of workers.
He said that a series of measures to curb the increase in A & E attendances, including 'substantial changes to 111' was necessary and urgent care services.
This comes after the BBC recently published shocking photos of theA & E unit at one of the hospitals of high performance in thecountry.
At one point in January, there were 95 seriously ill patients waiting tobe seen, but only 33 beds at the Royal Blackburn Hospital Lancashire.Mothers sat on the floor with babies in their laps while the elderly tailof carts and wheelchairs.
Executives resorted to appointing designated 'runner nurses' to carefor all patients without bed waiting.
Doctors told to 'take too many risks' sending patients home early and nurses report conditions as 'dangerous' and 'frightening'.
AS THE FUNDS COULD BE USED
The classification of £100 million of funds will be divided among theprojects of triage in the United Kingdom to try to improve assessments.
If the money is spent only in additional nurses, this would amount toan additional 4,600 nurses throughout the country at the start of thewages of £21, 692.Each A & E Department will receive an extra of 20pairs hand full time if staff were to divide evenly throughout the country. This would allow each individual nurse a little more time to assess patients, takes decisions that are accurate. However, it is likely thata significant portion will be spent on deployment of more efficient tests to monitor patients blood pressure, pulse and temperature. There are approximately 284,000 nurses working in the NHS and that has increased since 2009, but critics say it is not enough to meet demand.However, 96 percent of the hospitals in England is known to be unable to recruit enough staff for patients are safe. 'Worrying', based on data from 224 hospitals, analysis also suggested that nurses are increasingly being replaced by cheaper medical care assistants, not qualified.
While applications for nursing courses the dismissed Government have plummeted nearly a quarter in a year after scholarships for students.
