"The survey of 2,000 adults found nearly a third (29%) have put off seeking care due to long waits, while more than one in five (22%) admit they have avoided seeking care altogether. Alarmingly, one in five (20%) delayed seeing a doctor even after noticing possible cancer symptoms. Doctors warn this behaviour could mean hundreds of cancers are going undiagnosed, or being caught later when survival chances are reduced."
"Eight in ten (79%) Britons said they would trust AI in healthcare assessments, nine in ten (92%) said speed is vital, and nearly three quarters (71%) believe regulated AI could help reduce NHS wait times. 73% of respondents said the NHS has a duty of care to deploy technologies that are proven to improve outcomes for patients. The fact that AI won't suffer from tiredness as a human would (24%) and is more cost effective (21%) were also among the benefits cited."
A survey of 2,000 adults found nearly a third (29%) delayed seeking care because of long waits and 22% avoided care altogether; 20% delayed seeing a doctor after noticing possible cancer symptoms. Clinicians caution that such behavior could leave hundreds of cancers undiagnosed or diagnosed later when survival chances fall. NHS data show more than a third of melanomas are detected via routine pathways rather than urgent referrals, so waiting list delays could hide additional cancers. Public receptiveness to AI is high: 79% would trust AI assessments, 92% prioritise speed, 71% believe regulated AI could reduce wait times, and 73% say the NHS should deploy proven technologies. More than 7.4 million treatments remain outstanding in England.
