'NHS waiting times have lengthened so much that it could take many years to get them back on target in England, experts say. There are three flagship NHS waiting time targets covering cancer, A&E and routine operations. It is more than three years since any of them were hit in England. And despite the pledges of extra money for the NHS by the three main political parties, it could take until well into the 2020s for progress to be made. One of the big problems is lack of staff. There are nearly 100,000 vacancies in England, about one in 12 of all posts in the workforce. It takes five years study to become a doctor and three years to become a nurse.' https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/health-50397856 |
