Comment on NHS waiting lists: estimated 340,000 died awaiting treatment in 2022

The number dying on waiting lists jumped 15 per cent at the start of the pandemic in 2020, and carried on rising in 2021 and last year.
How many with covid?
The figures do not specify how people died, or whether the death was related to the care they were expecting from the NHS. The data also does not contain ages or medical conditions.
So, are more people dying on waitlists because there are just more people on waitlists?
Any other country comparisons? I know other European countries like Germany have way more emergency beds than the UK and the UK govt spends one of the lowest amounts on healthcare in the G7
Either way, it’s going to take a fuck ton of money to get back to where the NHS was pre Cameron and all the other twats

TBF I think the rot set in long before Cameron. They just accelerated it.

Didn’t Thatcher say that Cameron was her priest achievement? I’m sure she had something to do with it.
