More than 57,000 patients died last year as a result of waiting for more than 12 hours in A&E, suggests a condemnatory investigation.

The gloomy account, which is equal to around 160 deaths every day, is four times greater than the one estimated by the Royal College of Emergency Medicine (RCEM) in 2023.

It occurs after the nurses revealed that the patients have died and went unnoticed for hours after being languishing in inhuman conditions in the corridors.

The Health Foundation reached the last figure by combining data on NHS England long waiting with a study on mortality rates by the National Statistics Office.

The records show 1.77 million waiting for 12 hours or more in A&E in England last year, against a four -hour goal.

The ONS found 5 percent of patients waiting for 12 hours or more die within 30 days, which is more than double the rate of 2.1 percent for those who expect less than two hours.

He suggests that there were at least 57,000 deaths last year that could have been avoided whether patients waiting for 12 hours or more were treated before.

Helen Morgan, spokesman for the health and social assistance of the liberal democrats, said: ‘This new analysis is disgusting.

‘He exposes the mortal consequences of a health service that has reached the ground with patients and their loved ones often pay the final price.

‘It is simply not good enough for this new government to feel more in your hands. We need to see immediate action to get to the bottom of these mortal delays.

Estimates by 2023 were calculated using a less updated method.

Dr. Adrian Boyle, president of RCEM, said: ‘What we can say categorically is that the deaths associated with long A&E waiting are tragic and finally avoidable.

‘This problem has to be a priority for the government.

“People are dying and are in their being able to prevent it.”
