Episode Details

NHS wait times reveal stark inequalities: poorer areas aren’t always slower, and in Essex, the richest patients wait longer than the poorest elsewhere. South Asian patients face the longest waits overall, while white patients get seen fastest—though the gap for Black patients has shrunk. Disparities vary by condition: bone/joint waits are more equal, but skin conditions show huge gaps. Even after adjusting for age and severity, inequalities persist, exposing deeper systemic issues.
