motion: <p class="" pid="a.909.2/1" pwmotiontext="yes">I beg to move,</p>
  
  <p class="" pid="a.909.2/2" pwmotiontext="yes">That this House notes that hospital A&amp;E departments have now missed the four-hour A&amp;E target for 100 weeks in a row; further notes that trusts are predicting record deficits this year; believes the pressures on hospitals are a consequence of declining access to out-of-hospital services under this Government, including fewer older people receiving social care and more people waiting a week or more for a GP appointment; further believes the increasing bill for agency staff is also adding to the pressure on hospitals; notes that the Government plans to stop the weekly reporting of A&amp;E data; believes this decision will make the NHS less transparent and make it harder for patients to judge the performance of their local hospital; and calls on the Government to reinstate the publication of weekly A&amp;E data and to set out how it will tackle hospital deficits in 2015 in order to protect services.</p>
