to help discharge patients. car horns beep. butjust days into the new year, pressure is building on of the uk government to avert a crisis, as health unions prepare a fresh round of strikes within weeks. 0ur health reporter jim reed is with me now. jim, what is the government doing to try to ease this unprecedented challenge, as they described it? more money is going into the health service at the moment and in particular there is £500 million this winter in england to deal with the problem that catherine was talking about there, not being able to get people out of hospital who are medically fit enough to leave, not being able to get them out quickly enough, so that money is generally going to local authorities to increase the capacity and social care and get people out more quickly. it is that bottleneck which is then leading to large numbers of

blood struggling to clot. 0ur health reporter smitha mundasad joins me. the study, small early—stage study nonetheless, will be very welcome news to people with haemophilia around the world. it can be a really serious set of conditions where people, because of a genetic fault can't make crucial proteins that would normally help us if we cut or bump ourselves to stop catastrophic bleeding. there are about 2500 people in the uk with the most severe forms of haemophilia and they have to take weekly injections of these proteins and many have to make really difficult choices about what activities are too risky for them to do. it's really for this severe group that the trial could hold a really good promise. it has shown that for nine out of ten people who have this gene therapy, they no longer needed these injections and many felt their lives had been transformed. the gene therapy worked
