NHS England is shifting its priorities, opting to focus on reducing waiting times rather than initiatives for early cancer diagnosis, women's health, and childhood vaccinations. This overhaul has resulted in the abandonment of several commitments aimed at improving various health services, including access to dental treatment and mental health care. Health Secretary Wes Streeting defended this move by stating the need to address public concerns about long waiting times, but experts warn this change could undermine the long-term health of vulnerable populations.
NHS England's new focus on cutting waiting times means the abandonment of initiatives for early cancer diagnosis, women's health, and childhood vaccinations, despite public concerns.
Health Secretary Wes Streeting has emphasized shorter waiting times as the NHS's top priority, reducing the aim from 32 priorities to just 18 for the upcoming year.
