The quote below was from a report in 2017 about ITU capacity. Whilst 95% is not good, it's far from abnormal in normal circumstances. It tells you more about the state of the funding for NHS than anything else. Capacity is always running pretty high numbers and even more so during respiratory season.
"For England, where the information is collected and presented nationally through NHS England, we asked them whether they felt the reported percentage fill rate for beds at their site was a true reflection of their current bed capacity. The NHSE SitRep data was estimating the average fill rate for England was just below 87% for January, which includes a number of units at or near 100%. The highest level recommended for safe and efficient patient care is 85%."
