A&E units: Burnham says government should 'get a grip'

Shadow Health Secretary Andy Burnham says the government need to "get a grip" on the current situation in accident and emergency units.

He criticised government plans to tackle the growing pressures in the system as "half-baked" and "too little, too late".

He said: "Patients and staff cannot go through another year in A&E like the once we've just had."
