@C4Ciaran has compared NHS performance in 2023 with that in 2011:
▪️x10 worse 4-hour A&E waits
▪️x13 worse 18 wk waits for care
▪️x14 worse cancer waits
▪️x16 worse 4-hour trolley waits
▪️x3,000 worse 12-hour trolley waits
How has England’s NHS fared under Conservative governments?
@C4Ciaran and @FactCheck have been crunching the numbers.
