NHS Waiting Lists Reduced with Private Sector Help
The NHS has seen a significant reduction in waiting lists, with a decrease of 206,000 over the past year.
According to official figures, independent healthcare providers delivered over 6 million tests and operations for NHS patients in the last year, a rise of almost 500,000 compared to the previous year.
This increase in private sector involvement has resulted in hundreds of thousands of people receiving faster care, with an average of 19,000 surgical procedures and 100,000 outpatient appointments delivered every week.
Ministers say using spare capacity in the private sector is crucial in their battle to ensure that 92% of patients in England wait no longer than 18 weeks from referral to treatment.
