BRITAIN’S health service is severely under-equipped even before the coronavirus outbreak makes it full impact felt, the latest NHS performance statistics revealed today.

In January, the occupancy rate for adult critical care beds was 83 per cent, up from 75.3 per cent the previous month.

Some 1.5 million A&E patients were admitted within the targeted four-hour waiting time, a 4.5 per cent decrease on last year.
