Take Action to Reduce NHS Waiting Times

Background

Across the United Kingdom, many patients are experiencing waiting times for treatment, appointments and care within the National Health Service. These delays can have a serious impact on people's health and wellbeing.

Additional details

In my own experience, I had to wait an entire year for a hospital appointment. Waiting this long for care can be worrying and stressful especially when people need treatment. Unfortunately many people are facing this situation. The National Health Service is essential and millions of people rely on. Long waiting times can delay diagnosis, treatment and support for patients which can impact their health whereas, if they get access to healthcare more quickly they can receive the care they need.
