... 40% of A&E attendances are inappropriate ... I think with that statistic you are conflating "inappropriate" meaning unnecessary, because the patient did not really need medical help, with inappropriate because the patient could not get a timely appointment with their GP or the bit of the health service they actually and properly needed. I am not conflating anything thanks Medical care in this country is free to access And particularly in A&E is based on patient perception of needs What the staff and professionals think became irrelevant years ago What I can tell you is that most of what is inappropriate doesn’t need to see anyone Does one day of sore throat need to attend A&E? Does one day of sore throat need to attend a GP?
