First draft of a new slogan: "Tough on exit block, tough on the causes of exit block." @RCEM_VP @RCEMPolicyVP @fourhourtarget @StuartNuttall1 @TJCoats @whitefleece8127 @nickscr1 @BDChadwick @jfdwolff

Fullness begets fullness begets fullness. We see the ebbs and flows as the week progresses. But the vertical positioning of each line also matters. If the blue line could be eight percentage points lower, the green line would be 13 points lower, and the ED line would plummet.

What a powerful message this diagram sends. £4 out of every £5 spend on healthcare in the last year of life is for acute hospital care. Community services remain underfunded. Hospices account for 4% of spending with hospice community palliative care being <2%.
