<p>My Rt hon. Friend, the Secretary of State for Health and Social Care, holds regular
discussions with Cabinet colleagues on the work to improve accident and emergency
(A&E) waiting times, including at health stocktakes.</p><p>The Government’s aim
is to make it easier for people to access a range of urgent care services and avoid
needing to make unnecessary visits to A&E departments. When people do need to
attend A&E, our aim is that this care is provide more quickly, with 76% of patients
admitted, transferred or discharged within four hours by March 2024.</p>
