There should be enough nursing staff on duty in Accident and Emergency departments to have two registered nurses to one patient in cases of major trauma or cardiac arrest, according to guidance published today.
The guidance comes as accident and emergency departments in England saw 89.8% of patients within four hours in the week ending January 11, again failing to meet the 95% target.
Accident and emergency departments across England saw 89.8 per cent of patients within the four-hour target window last week, new figures reveal.
The results, for the week ending January 11, mean the vast majority of departments again failed to meet the 95 per cent target - though it is an improvement on the previous week, when only 86.7 per cent of patients were seen within the target time.
Bosses say the figures are a sign of ongoing "unprecedented" pressures on the NHS this winter.
