Social media raves about the mysterious purple shirt-wearing woman who tickled Steve Barclay –

The mysterious woman who harassed Health Minister Steve Barclay over the deadly NHS ambulance crisis was hailed as a “hero” today.

Social media users rushed to praise the angry woman, who interrupted the minister’s meeting outside the London hospital, accusing her and the current Conservative government of “doing anything” to worsen the situation.

Visibly, a passerby – dressed in a purple T-shirt – said “people died” due to the appalling delays in patients who had to wait more than 40 hours to be taken to the hospital.

Commentators immediately praised the unidentified woman, saying she deserved a medal, a round of applause, and even a seat in the next prime minister’s cabinet.

One hospital worker described the woman as an “absolute hero” and added that “more of this anger” is needed to send it to the government for the crisis.

The disaster is due to a shortage of healthcare workers, including paramedics. The emergency room crisis caused by the inadequacy of hospital beds also fluctuates response times.

It comes after NHS chiefs said the 10 hospitals with the longest ambulance transfer delays have one month to end all waiting times.

An internal briefing by healthcare leaders in the Midlands revealed that hospitals have been placed on a national “priority” list to “eliminate” delays by September 30.

Ambulance data from NHS England show that the average wait time for heart attack and stroke victims has exceeded 59 minutes for the second time (red bars). The yellow line shows the number of category two searches, which is 379,460. reached out

The latest NHS England data for July shows that more than 29,000 patients waited 12 hours for emergency care last month (yellow lines), four times longer than the NHS target, and a third in June, the previous record. Meanwhile, the percentage of patients seen within four hours – 95% of people need to be seen – dropped to 71% last month (red line), the lowest rate since registration began in 2010.

Ambulance crews must transfer all patients to the emergency room within 15 minutes of arriving at the hospital.

But teams say they’ve had to wait 24 hours in recent months as the heatwave and Covid infections put even more pressure on teams in July.

The Royal College of Emergency Medicine said transfer delays were “almost entirely due to overcrowding in emergency rooms”.

This is attributed to the lack of hospital beds due to the social care crisis itself, difficulties in accessing primary care doctors and severe staff shortages.

Average ambulance response time for more serious calls has skyrocketed in recent months, with crews further reduced due to delays.

It took an average of nine minutes and 35 seconds for ambulances to respond to Category 1 calls last month, a record that was broken in March. Target seven minutes.

The delays have been associated with several deaths, including one retiree who died after calling emergency medical services and waiting 15 hours for an ambulance.

Social media users today praised heckler for taunting Barclay for escalating the issue.

“Absolute hero,” said Sorcha Smith, assistant genetic engineer at Sheffield Children’s Hospital.

“We need more of this anger against the government. We’re just too passive and they literally get away with killing people. “

Photographer Thomas Page wrote: “This lady deserves a medal!”

“Come on time, come on grandma,” said DJ Joe Muggs.

Musician Martin wrote: “May I suggest that we abolish the current government and replace it with a cabinet led by Martin Lewis and Steve Barclay, led by That Woman Heckled?”

Author Mark Amies shared a photo of Mr. Barclay and captioned it: “Minister for All”.

The unnamed jammer exploded outside Moorfields Eye Hospital in central London, where Mr Barclay was visiting the press.

The footage shows Mr Barclay answering a question from the interviewer before seeing the angry woman’s approach.

The minister intervened, “Are you going to do something about the waiting for ambulances and the disappearance of people?” says.

Mr. Barclay looks annoyed and replies: “Of course we are.”

But the woman replied and added: “Don’t you think 12 years is enough?

‘Twelve years – you did everything you could. People are dead and all you do is nothing.

She turns on her heels and goes straight to the hospital, leaving the embarrassed Mr Barclay speechless.

On Wednesday, Mr. Barclay summoned the heads of six of the worst-performing hospital funds to resolve delays in the transfer of victims.

He described delays in the emergency room as “unacceptable” and said it was his top priority.

At the same time, call managers are struggling.

All 999 calls are answered by an IT operator who initially forwards ambulance requests to the local trustee.

NHS England expects trusts to respond to these calls within ten seconds.

But last month, nearly 3,800 calls to the UK went unanswered within seven minutes.

The number of ambulance calls in the UK has increased by more than 6 million in the last decade, from 7.9 million in 2009/10 to 14 million in 2021/22.
