Health Secretary Wes Streeting announced the achievement of two million extra NHS appointments but acknowledged that much more is required to improve NHS care. Speaking on BBC Radio 4, he highlighted persistent issues, such as ambulance response times and mental health services. A report reveals that a significant number of patients face administrative dysfunctions, with 64% reporting problems like missing test results and receiving appointment letters post-visit. The aim is to show that politics can positively impact healthcare.
Patients routinely have to chase up test results, receive appointment letters after their appointments, and do not know when their treatment will occur because the NHS is so dysfunctional.
Sixty-four percent of people in England who used the NHS or arranged care for someone else over the last year encountered a problem involving its administration or communication.
