Government at work - Healthcare in the U.K.
And this is an improvement!
Be careful what you wish for...
Be careful what you wish for...
In the U.K.'s Daily Mail we learn:
"Almost 400,000 patients are still waiting more than a year for NHS treatment, a think tank claimed today.
Government figures showed a rise in the number of patients being admitted for treatment within the 18-week target from referral.
The latest figures, for October 2007, showed 60 per cent were treated in that timeframe, up from 57 per cent the previous month.
But right-wing think-tank Civitas warned the figures were concealing a high number forced to wait far longer."
