</p><p>The National Health Service is implementing its Urgent and Emergency Care Recovery
Action Plan to improve patient flow through hospital to help improve performance in
accident and emergency (A&E) departments, accelerating patient handovers and releasing
ambulances to respond new calls. The Plan aims to ensure that medically fit patients
can be discharged earlier, increase the role of NHS 111 to assist people to access
the appropriate primary care service and avoid additional demands on urgent care and
A&E.</p>
