“One cannot have failed to see press comments over the Christmas period about the acute demands on accident and emergency services. The December emergency department four-hour wait performance to see patients revealed that services were only spared from being the worst ever recorded by rounding off figures. At one decimal place, the all-department score equalled January 2017’s score of 85.1%—the previous all-time low. At two decimal points, however, only 85.07% were seen within four hours in December 2017; last January it was 85.14% (Illman, 2018).
