The NHS is experiencing a slight decrease in waiting lists, now at 7.36 million, with the highest number of treatments recorded and 70% patient satisfaction reported with GPs. However, 40% of patients are waiting longer than 18 weeks. A significant concern is the recent 90% strike vote by junior doctors, which could lead to further disruptions in patient care. This comes despite previous pay increases that averaged 28.9% over three years. The proposed new pay claims by doctors are contentious, indicating ongoing tensions within NHS staffing.
Waiting lists in the NHS show a slight improvement, with a total of 7.36 million still awaiting treatment and 40% waiting longer than 18 weeks.
The introduction of additional GPs and improved appointment booking through phone and the NHS app has led to higher patient satisfaction with GPs.
Despite improvements in patient satisfaction, junior doctors in England have voted 90% in favor of striking, creating potential disruptions in NHS services.
The British Medical Association's strike action, planned for late July, may exacerbate the recovery of the NHS, impacting millions of healthcare appointments.
