Children across the UK are enduring significant health deterioration due to extensive delays in NHS care, leading to serious conditions like chronic pain and developmental problems.
Some parents have reached breaking point under the pressure of waiting for care, leading to family splits as they struggle to cope with their children's health challenges.
The Royal College of Paediatrics and Child Health emphasized that some children face lifelong consequences because of unacceptable waiting times, sometimes extending to several years.
Many families resort to private healthcare options to avoid NHS waiting lists, highlighting the pressing need for increased resources dedicated to under-18s care.
