Back to EpisodesNHS Misses Hospital Treatment Target for 10 Years
Description
The NHS misses its hospital treatment target for a decade, with nearly 42 million patients waiting too long, causing real pain and delays. Despite Health Secretarys claims of improved A&E and ambulance services, patient groups highlight a decade of anxiety and deteriorating health. Post-pandemic breaches have surged, with over 6 million patients waiting for 7.25 million treatments, 2.79 million past 18 weeks, and over 136,000 beyond a year. Despite low confidence in timely routine care, 74% want the target prioritized. Streeting vows to meet the goal by parliaments end, with private providers ready to assist.
