Most key NHS targets have been missed for at least seven years across the UK, BBC News research shows.
The review of records going back 20 years also reveals Northern Ireland and Wales have never met the four-hour accident-and-emergency (A&E) target.
The analysis focused on the three key hospital targets, covering A&E, cancer and waiting times for planned care.
Combined, the length of time during which the targets have been missed tops 100 years.
In the past seven, the only one to have been met is the A&E target in Scotland - and that was during lockdown in 2020, when the number of visits to A&E plummeted.
 
I wonder who's responsible for setting the overall funding of public services.
 
I'm pretty sure I know who sets the pay.

It's this bunch, isn't it.


Underpaid, understaffed, under-resourced.

No wonder they keep leaving
 
I wonder how the NHS compares to other similar countries?

Well! Upon my soul! Who would have thought it?

They give some pointers but they certainly don’t run it.

I wonder who appointed Richard Meddings CBE, Chair of NHS England?

Could it have been Health and Social Care Secretary Sajid Javid?

Yes, it could, and it was.

Did Richard work his way to the top in the NHS?

No, he was parachuted in after being in management in the financial services industry.

You can have as many beds as you like but they ain’t a lot of good if you haven’t got the nurses to attend to the people laying in them. What do you say to a country that is willing to fùck up the health system of another country by poaching their staff? Plain fact is, every country has a shortage of skilled workers but to listen to some, you’d think it was just the U.K. that had a shortage.
Show some balance in your pro-EU posts by highlighting the deficiencies in those countries you hold up as a shining example of how everything is tickety boo compared to the U.K.
 
Uk can’t maintain the few beds it does have , sister in law went in a couple of days ago with chest infection and pneumonia , so little staff she was not offered a single drink or meal for 36hours.
