How is your hospital doing as NHS battles to bring down waiting times?
The NHS in England is facing challenges in improving hospital waiting times, with concerns raised by doctors and patient groups. The 18-week waiting time target, a key pledge, has not been met since 2015, despite some improvement. The government aims to hit the target by March 2029, with individual performance targets set for hospital trusts. Various trusts are making progress, but some are struggling, impacting patients awaiting treatment. The UK government's 10-year NHS plan aims to address these issues, with ongoing efforts to improve waiting times nationwide.
