LONDON, NOVEMBER 14 - List of record waits for patients in public hospitals in England. This is revealed by new official data taken up again today by the media that once again certify the serious difficulties of the historic British health system (NHS), grappling with the consequences of the cuts in resources and staff over the past few years and decades, made even heavier by recent austerity policies. The data, referring to the statistics of the last three years available month by month, indicate, among other things, how the goal of guaranteeing the start of treatment to almost all patients diagnosed with cancer at least within 62 days has been missed; while some managers and doctors warn about the "implosion" risk of the system. Goals also failed on the reduction of general waiting lists at 18 weeks (should have covered 92% of patients, but stopped under 85) and on admission to the emergency room within 4 hours.
