Is there a graph including non Covid paitents?
I wondered that. I haven't looked very hard but the following article talks about 18,000 patients a day on average were coming to hospital in need of an emergency admission in the winter.

So current "because of Covid" admissions are an extra ~25% on top of an already stretched and under funded/resourced NHS.

Do you mean so you can identify what % of admissions overall are related to Covid?
Edit: These figures are published monthly, next batch due on 9th Jan. On 1st December 5% of all NHS beds in England were occupied by Covid patients.
