NHS Wait Times: Delays by Design?!

Hospitals are now being told to make patients wait at least 3 months for some treatments—yep, even if they could do it sooner. The idea? Save money and prioritize urgent cases, but experts warn it could leave people stuck in pain way longer than needed. Some places have set blanket waits of 12-18 weeks for things like hip replacements and cataracts. Is this the best way to balance budgets, or just making things worse for patients? #Health #BodyHealth #NHS
