COVID-19: It will take five years for some hospitals to catch up with patient backlog, experts warn

showed that 4.7 million people were waiting to start treatment at the end of the February, which is the highest figure since records began in 2007.

Almost 400,000 patients were waiting more than a year to start cancer treatment then as well - the highest monthly figure since December 2007.Delays in care do not just refer to planned surgery and cancer treatment, but also mental health and community services. Health bosses say they need a"multi-year" plan to address the backlog, with chief executives urging the government to go beyond current targets.

Forever war on a virus

GNev2 If it's on sky, must be true 😂😂😂😂

GNev2 Well it won’t as a lot of them will have died waiting

So much for protect the NHS .... made it a far worse problem!

Dreary reporting sky, any good news ?

No, with 40 new hospitals we will catch up in no time. Assuming Dildo Harding is not in charge of the build programme...

There were two year waiting lists for elective surgery to begin with does that mean you'll have to wait 7 years now? Get real.

the reasons why you shouldn't worry about COVID-19 vaccines and how to go back to life the way it was..

Which will result in far more deaths than from this hyped flu. Boris and co need investigating and jail?.

Even longer for the EU!!!!;🤷‍♂️

Who are these experts? & they only just realised? Others have been warning of this since last year. Sadly so many have already lost their life’s due to missed appointments but until now a lot of the media seemed to ignore it.

What. Am I dreaming or this is real?

5 years to catch up on 12 months miss appointments?!? Sounds like the government have found a good ‘day/opportunity’ to clear bad news/years of incompetence

How long will it take for the world to unite and Boycott China?
