00:00We are concerned about the pressure that the Health Service is under because we've had this super hot summer and
00:05several heat waves.
00:06I did my first emergency planning meeting for winter back in June. It was, I think, 32 degrees outside.
00:13So we have been planning, but it has been a tough summer.
00:16So the NHS has gone into it more stressed. It's difficult for staff.
00:21So we're doing everything we can to reduce that pressure.
00:23For example, supporting people to be treated closer to home today,
00:27as well as looking at discharge, working with local authorities,
00:30and supporting the hospitals to run their systems better so that we avoid things like corridor care.
