>More than 120,000 people in England died last year while on the NHS waiting list for hospital treatment, figures obtained by Labour appear to show.
This should be on the side of a red double decker bus.
>The Homerton hospital in east London has just 0.9 beds for every 1,000 local people. That is even fewer than in Mexico, which the Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD) says has the lowest number of beds per capita in the world. The Homerton has 41.4% fewer beds than eight years ago, the library found.
Very sad.
It’s a real problem in France too albeit less extreme.
Somehow the governement managed to close thousands of beds in the middle of the f*ing covid crisis.
This will be the immediate result of people being refused treatments during covid. However, the massive waiting lists themselves are a product of the extremely centralised NHS model simply isn’t very good when compared to healthcare in France or Germany
