GBNews published this video item, entitled “NHS backlog could grow ‘significantly’ as more than 7 million may be failing to seek help” – below is their description.
The NHS waiting list is likely to “grow significantly”, a think tank has warned, after new analysis suggests that 7.5 million fewer people were sent for hospital care than expected during the pandemic.
A record 5.6 million people in England are waiting for care, according to the latest NHS figures.
But analysis from the Health Foundation shows there were 7.5 million fewer people referred for routine hospital care between January 2020 and July 2021 than would have been expected, based on numbers before the pandemic.
