NHS failing elderly in hour of need, report finds

This has provoked an NHS crisis as unveiled and revealed by a benchmark report, the elderly are let down in hour of needs. 
 
A report by Lord Darzi, a surgeon and a former health minister, will show that the most vulnerable have been neglected with increase in A&E waiting time for pensioners doubled. 
 
The study will be intended to influence the government’s position on the post-NHS care and, as it will be released on Thursday, will state that too many older people have become subjected to miserable experiences of the service. 
 
Lord Darzi told The Telegraph: “I am disappointed and appalled that older people have been let down. ” 
 
“They have spent their entire working lives dedicating themselves to work for the NHS and they have every right to expect the same from the organization in their times of need The sad reality of the present hour is that the same NHS cannot come through for the people in the manner it used to do. ” 
 
The independent investigation was called by Wes Streeting, Health Secretary, within one week of forming Labour government after defining the NHS as ‘broken’. 
 
On Thursday, it will state that the most vulnerable are being failed time and again by health service. 
 
This was highlighted by a review the news at hand whereby average A&E waiting time for the elderly has been established to have duplicated in 15 years. 
 
Need pensioners requiring a carer can now wait about 5 hours 54 minutes in casualty units as compared with 2 hours 55 minutes in 2008. 
 
It will also say that 2. More than 5 million patients Out of the total 6. 2 million patients on the NHS waiting list in England, are above 65 years. 
 
The document is nearly 140 pages long and will detail a score of sins that the government says defines how the NHS functions, objecting to the interruption of large portions of normal health services during the pandemic. 
 
Other countries did far better, in continuation to run services, the investigation will discover that they have spent billions more than India on capital expenditure. 
 
Darzi, a health minister under Gordon Brown, is likely to shift the blame for the extent of popular backlog build-up to the pandemic on underinvestment and a top-down reorganisation of the NHS that happened in 2012 under the Tories. 
 
Its opinions are expected to fuel bitter political battles from a former Labour health minister. 
 
Victoria Atkins, the shadow health secretary, has already given Doveraz suggestion that the report is “cover for the Labour Party to raise our taxes in the budget in October”. 
 
Chiefs have claimed that the surgeon will unveil a blueprint of how the country can transform the NHS in a decade by a plan to radically restructure the system for the next ten years. It remains to be seen which of these will be incorporated in the plan that is due to be released early next year. 
 
This paper documents Lord Darzi’s investigation as saying that the ‘the good motorway’ view is in the process of reversing for the first time in 50 years as health progress has gone into reverse and has even halted the reduction in deaths from heart disease in NHS. 
 
Elderly are of particular interest to him and all pointed out that majority of service users have at least two chronic conditions by the age of 75. 
 
Pointing at some older people’s ‘particularly appalling experiences’ of A&E, Lord Darzi is to claim that some of them may wait for more than 24 hours. 
 
We now have over half a million people aged over 75 who are waiting for its treatment for more than six months and 90,00 individuals that are waiting for it for more than a year. 
 
He will also caution that the youngest patients in the NHS are suffering almost half a million children with a wait of more than four hours in A&E yearly. 
 
Lord Darzi is a 64-year old surgeon who became known as the “Robo Doc” for popularising keyhole surgery and robotics in operating rooms. ” 
 
He also under the previous Labour government advised on the establishment of the polyclinics – large facilities with GPs and a range of other services from 8 in the morning to 8 at night. 
 
The plans have been criticized by the British Medical Association and dumped by the coalition government. 
 
Still, concepts similar to these have been voiced by Labour and will trial place-based general practitioners practices and one-stop-shop neighborhood health centres. 
 
Lord Darzi served as a health minister between 2007 and 2009, however he left the Labour party in July 2019 when the peer criticised Corbyn over anti-Semitism. 
 
He once again continues to be an independent peer. He was global ambassador for life sciences from 2009 until 2013 and continued to hold the position when the coalition government was formed. 
 
Lord Darzi is an honorary consultant surgeon at Imperial College Hospital NHS trust and also has the Paul Hamlyn Chair of Surgery at Imperial College London, The Royal Marsden Hospital and the Institute of Cancer Research. 

The peer has previously said that hospitals should provide far more care seven days a week, noting: “British Airways does not allow its planes remain on the tarmac over the weekend. ” 
 
At present, more than half of the NHS hospitals do not carry out operations on Saturdays and Sundays: for example, the number of operations such as hip replacements performed on Saturdays was 80 per cent lower than on weekdays. 
 
During the pandemic Lord Darzi insisted on taking a shift for an intensive care unit. 
 
In 2007, for services to medicine and surgery, the surgeon was knighted but he recently gave CPR to Lord Brennan a Labour peer in the House of Lords. 
 
He used a defibrillator so as to assist in the resuscitation of Lord Brennan. “When I was shocking him I saw Archbishop of York performing his prayers,” he put it in detail later. 
 
Lord Darzi has been awarded by Queen Elizabeth II, who bestowed him on the Order of Merit in 2016.
