we have —73 beds. there are 17 people waiting in a&e for a medical bed. there is one for renal.n for us to be at this time. right now, we are struggling in the middle of winter with delayed transfers. they are taking 105 beds today. these are patients that should be looked after in a care home? in some cases, in their own home with a package of care and we are waiting for social workers who are very stretched to come and put arrangements in place for those patients. this ward was set up seven years ago and is for people who are what we call delayed transfers of care. these are people who are trapped in the hospital because there is not sufficient care in the community. hello! hello, beryl. the situation at the moment is the worst i have seen it since i qualified and start working as a doctor 17 years ago. the real difference now is that i am unable to see light at the end of the tunnel. you have been in hospital, it has been a long time, you were in and then you are home for about 24 hours and then you came back in. they brought her here. when she took ill. she is quite well. yo

itjust seems to be the bed that's the problem. yeah, the beds the problem. as demand soars, the hospital boss says better care for the elderly is the key to relieving pressure. you don't want to be in hospital if you don't need to be in hospital. i would far rather have capacity in the community intends of nursing in the community in terms of nursing homes and care homes. and a new report says health funding in england will struggle to keep pace with demand. the brexit bill makes progress, and mps are told they will be given a take—it—or—leave—it vote on the final brexit deal. an appeal court is told that a former royal marine convicted of murdering a wounded taliban fighter in afghanistan was mentally ill at the time. and, it's the robot challenge. can jobs be protected when automation takes over? and in sportsday on bbc news, alastair cook speaks after stepping down as england cricket captain, saying he could no longer give his all in the job, but wants to continue playing for his country. good evening. we start tonight with the second of our special repor

you can get periods where you are managing bed by bed, minute by minute.eens are having to spend a lot of time running around trying to find a bed for the next patient who needs it and moving patients between wards is not ideal, we do not like doing it unless we have to, but sometimes you have to prioritise clinically who will be in the beds. ideally, hospitals have patient and ride 85% of their beds so patient and ride 85% of their beds so there is time for cleaning and space for urgent cases. our analysis of nhs figures showed most hospitals in england were above the recommended rate this winter. nearly half those trusts had occupancy levels a bove half those trusts had occupancy levels above 95%, up—to—date figures we re levels above 95%, up—to—date figures were not available for the rest of the uk. most hospitals in europe run at 80% capacity and they cannot understand when we talk to them and say we run oui’s at understand when we talk to them and say we run ours at magut 5%, they just think it is a very, very odd way and also to be frank, a slightly
