4 months agoStreeting vows NHS App upgrade will slash waiting times and give patients more choice
Wes Streeting has promised to pull the NHS into the digital age with plans to give more patients needing planned care the ability to decide where they are treated. Under plans aimed at slashing waiting lists, the NHS App will be overhauled, giving patients more choice under the elective reform plan, which is set to be announced this week. Health secretary Mr Streeting said the move will help Labour cut waiting times 'from 18 months to 18 weeks'.
