Video: Labour: Jeremy Hunt 'dangerous complacency' over spiralling A&E problems Many hospital emergency departments have dropped the Government's four-hour target to deal with patients because of soaring demand. In a heated exchange with Health Secretary Jeremy Hunt, Mr Burnham said some hospitals were "seriously adrift" of their targets to treat patients within four hours, saying Mr Hunt's only "substantive response" to the crisis was to tour the television studios to blame the GP contract from 2004. Mr Burnham said there was no evidence to support the contention that changing the contract would solve the problem of pressures on A&E departments. Turning to Mr Hunt, he added: "Your complacency is dangerous. Isn't it time that you stopped blaming GPs to divert attention from a mess of your own making and address the real causes? The truth is that this is a mess of your own making and it won't be solved by your spin or indeed by blaming GPs. You have been found playing politics when you should have been dealing with the real causes of today's chaos. Faced with a crisis, you have been found wanting. You now need to cut the spin and get a grip.
