Labour facing almost certain failure to cut NHS waiting lists to 18 weeks, bosses warn
HEALTH service bosses have warned that Labour is facing almost certain failure to achieve its plans to cut NHS waiting lists down to 18 weeks.
They say that the scale of the problem and lack of money is seeing the 7.6 million NHS waiting list filled up again as soon as it is reduced.
The warning comes in a damning report from NHS Providers, representing the 209 trusts who provide health services, including hospitals, ambulances and mental health, in Britain.
