Chaos in England – record waiting list: 7 million waiting for routine surgery

Date:

If you need surgery in Britain, you need a lot of patience: in most of Britain, England alone, seven million people were on the waiting list for routine surgery at the end of August.

As the national health service NHS announced on Thursday, this is the highest value since registration began in 2007. The wait for nearly 390,000 patients is more than a year, the report said.

Twelve hours in the emergency room
There is also an inglorious record for waiting times for people in the emergency room in England. According to this data, in September, 32,776 patients had to wait more than 12 hours in the emergency room before a decision was made about admission to hospital.

The health service NHS (National Health Service) in Great Britain, unlike health insurers in Austria, is not funded by contributions, but has to cover its expenses from a budget set by the government. It is considered chronically underfunded.
