2m to suffer on Tory NHS waiting lists
Labour slams government for ripping apart the NHS

TWO million people will face hospital waits of over four hours if the Tory NHS “crisis” continues for another five years, Labour warned yesterday.

Accident and emergency departments have now missed the government’s target of seeing 95 per cent of patients within four hours for 91 weeks in a row.

NHS England records show that 1.4 million patients waited more than four hours last year — a 300 per cent increase since the Tories took power in 2010.
