>Duncan Burton, Chief Nursing Officer for England, praised the progress being made on reducing waits, pointing out this had happened during a period when the NHS had to cope with strikes by resident doctors, the new name for junior doctors. He said it was a „triumph“ for the hard work of staff.
Will take a win where it’s due I suppose. GP waiting times and A&E waiting times are still a massive joke though. Even my small patient list GP surgery is now having 10+ day waiting times for an appointment now. Before late 2025 you could still get an appointment in the same week most of the time.
My local hospital has been on and off declaring critical emergencies for A&E waiting times too. And actually using the postcode checker in the BBC article, it seems my hospital trust has some of the longest waiting lists in the country.

Lowest in 3 years because the govt paid the NHS to take people off the list, including those that died whilst waiting for their treatment. It’s all smoke and mirrors
Yet here I am where I was supposed to get a consultation follow up appointment in November of last year and after emailing them they told me “I’m on the list” but they are going through it and it could be a 3 year delay?
But if I want the same treatment I can pay privately ( around £350 ) and be seen next week
Yes, I managed to book a doctor appointment on Monday. I booked 9 days in advance, not too bad.
Just filled in some forms online and received a message from my surgery 4 days later. And my workmate waited for a hernia op for no longer than a month.
