NHS hospitals need plan to tackle backlog of patients, warns RCS
14 Mar 2019
NHS hospitals continue to struggle to reduce long waiting lists which include over 220,000 patients that have been waiting more than six months for treatment, the Royal College of Surgeons (RCS) has warned. There were also over 36,000 patients waiting more than nine months for treatment.
Figures published today show there were 227,569 patients waiting over six months, and 36,857 patients waiting over nine months, to start planned NHS treatment in January 2019, according NHS performance data published today. This is an increase of 30.7% and 38.7% respectively on the same period last year

Yep, you can pay cash for your pet's MRI whenever, but if you're a human in need
of a non-emergency scan, Canada's healthcare system has you wait in the queue

Oh, but it's "free."
