Accident and Emergency departments recorded their worst ever performance in December.
Here in Kent, just 75% of patients were seen within four hours - well below the government target of 95%.
People are also having to wait longer than they did in December 2018 - back then 83% were treated within that all important window.
Also in today's episode: tributes have been to a man who worked in Dartford and was killed in the Iran plane crash and Macmillan say there aren't enough NHS staff in Kent to help patients with cancer.
