the department of health says it's providing billions more every year to ease pressure. nhs england says plans are in place to deal with the extra demand. beds are actually not quite as full as they were this time last year, but everyone in the health service knows things could get worse before they get better. dan johnson, bbc news. nhs england has denied that hospitals and ambulance services are experiencing a "humanitarian crisis". nhs england's director for acute care, professor keith willett, said there was unprecedented pressure but plans were in place to cope. i have great respect for the red cross as a caring organisation and we have worked with them over recent winters both funding and supporting them with their excellent service at home and ambulance services but on the international scale for the red cross of a humanitarian crisis i do not think

if confirmed, the head of hhs, the health and human services department, is the captain of the trump health care team. now, the congressman says patients should be at the center of care. i agree with that. when i look, however, at the congressman proposals, i don't see the patient at the center of health care. i see money and i see special interests at the center of health care. now, finally, let me just make a point with respect to the process and the comments on my good friend, chairman hatch. colleagues, the process here is exactly the same process, to a t, that this committee has used for 20 years. it is the process that applied, for example, to tom daschle, it applied to ron kirk. i will enter into the record a specific set of details about how this is the process that was done on a bipartisan basis for 20 years and i will make that part of the record. thank you, mr. chairman. >> thank you, senator. i'm pleased to hand over the introduction, my normal witness introduction duties today to my colleague, the distinguished senator georgia, senator isaacson. please proceed. >> thank y

over the last few years and it's a combination of underfunding of the national health service, terrible pressure placed on a&e departments, lack of beds to move people on to and, of course, part of the problem is the backup caused by the lack of social care provided by local authorities, so many cannot leave hospital when they should have been discharged in order to be cared for at home. how much though of a responsibility do we, as the public, bear in that we turn up sometimes

the department of health says 90% of hospitals are working towards compliance but the campaign for betternt situation as diabolical. in 2014, food standards became mandatory in english hospitals. this official report is an attempt to find out what progress has been made since then. it says there is more to do but claims there has been a measurable improvement in food quality. for example, in 89% of hospitals patients said their food was good or very good. that's up 5% from 2013. 55% of hospitals are fully compliant with standards recommended by dieticians. that's up 1496 recommended by dieticians. that's up 14% from 2015. and 52% of hospitals are fully compliant with basic government standards on food quality and nutrition. nearly 40% are said to be partly compliant. but the campaignfor to be partly compliant. but the campaign for better hospital food picks up on that same statistic, saying it shows nearly half of hospitals don't meet basic standards. the organisation also claims that nearly a third of patients are at real risk of malnutrition. the department of health says food standards
