Every acute hospital trust in England is currently failing to meet Keir Starmer's target of treating 92% of patients within 18 weeks, highlighting significant challenges in NHS reform.
The newest waiting list statistics for October show that 7.54 million cases are pending treatment, with over 3.1 million patients waiting longer than 18 weeks.
Acute hospital trusts, responsible for emergency and short-term treatments, collectively show alarming figures indicating that previous care standards are far from being met.
Only a few specialist and community trusts, such as Kent Community Health NHS Foundation Trust, are able to meet the target, indicating a stark divide in performance.
