More Problems at A and E

The self defeating nature of the government's austerity programme is being laid bare in Accident and Emergency again.  The cut backs in other parts of the NHS and in Social Services are pushing people towards emergency provision and thereby overwhelming capacity in that provision.  This is the exact opposite of what should be happening.  More preventative care should be taking pressure off emergency provision, which would make treatment more effective in many cases and probably cheaper as well.
