Early Day Motion 761

A&E waiting times in Berkshire

Tabled 5 February 2025 by Mr Lee Dillon

That this House notes with concern that in December 2024 2,655 people admitted to A&E in the NHS Buckinghamshire, Oxfordshire and Berkshire Integrated Care Board were waiting over 12 hours; recognises the significant negative impact that long hospital wait times are having on people’s health; further notes with alarm that in February 2024 32% of patients at the Royal Berkshire NHS Trust were waiting longer than the target time of four hours in A&E, compared to the UK average of 29%; and also notes that the Royal Berkshire Hospital will not receive its promised funding under the New Hospital Programme to carry out vital improvements until 2037.
