DOCS AT HOME FACES THE AXE

Hospital at Home was hailed as the solution to massive queues at casualty departments, allowing elderly patients to be treated at home for minor health issues.

But a report on proposed cuts to health and social services has recommended axing the service.

The latest figures show half of all patients arriving at A&E are not seen within the four-hour target way below the 95 per cent target.
