NHS Medical Director Sir Bruce Keogh has mentioned in a report that 999 ambulances should come forth and reduce the pressure on A&E units.

One of the top doctors of England revealed that the NHS should have a two-tier A&E system. The system should also consist of a part which involves telephone discussion with GPs and nurse to take the stress off casualty wards that are `creaking at the seams'.

About 20,000 posts for nurses are vacant in England, says the Royal College of Nursing (RCN). Over one-fifth of the trusts are employing nurses from foreign countries.

The Yorkshire Post reveals that a debt-ridden NHS trust gained a profit of over £100,000 last year after the start of disputable 0844 telephone numbers.

A deal has been struck by the NHS with drug companies that will allow the health service to freeze the amount it spends on the most expensive drugs, thereby saving more than £1bn over the next two years. More than £12bn was spent by the health service in branded medicines.

A couple who were employed as NHS managers were salaried almost £1million of redundancy money. The amount was paid to them so that they are hired again by the health service later in weeks.

Karen Straughair of 50 years was given over £605,000 when NHS South of Tyne and Wear was agitated at the end of March. She worked as a chief executive there.

Complaints in health service were recently thoroughly reviewed, following which it has been suggested that the NHS should provide all its patients with a pen and a paper.

Experts said the patients should have two things by their bed so that they could note down any kind of complaint against care quality there and then.

It has been revealed that foreign patients who pay to use the NHS are double the number of those who seek free healthcare in the UK. A new academic study has suggested that the UK is a `net exporter' of patients, with 63,000 travelling abroad for treatment in 2010.
