NHS waiting lists will not start to fall for two years, the Health Secretary has said, with more than 300,000 people facing waits of over a year for treatment, compared with 1,600 before the pandemic – a nearly 200-fold or 17,500% rise. The Telegraph has the story.
NHS waiting lists will not start to come down until 2024, the Health Secretary warned as he outlined plans to tackle record backlogs.
Sajid Javid said the health service would “pull out all the stops” to cope with rising demand from millions who did not get the care they needed in the pandemic.
The new NHS delivery plan says that without action to increase health service activity, total numbers waiting could rise from six million to 14 million. It pledges to boost activity by 30% a year for three years in an attempt to prevent this.
Mr Javid said the latest figures suggest that around 10 million people stayed away from the NHS during the heights of the pandemic. He added that if half such numbers came forward, waiting lists could be expected to start falling by March 2024.
The plan was finally issued on Tuesday, having been held up by the Treasury amid concerns about its delivery timescales and the value secured from the £5.9 billion capital investment.
Mr Javid set out a number of targets to eliminate long waits, promising that no one should wait longer than 12 months by March 2025. The latest data show more than 300,000 people facing such waits, compared with 1,600 before the pandemic.
More than 18,000 people have waited two years for operations and appointments, the figures show – a seven-fold rise since last summer. Health officials had previously pledged to eliminate all such waits by March this year, but the new plan delays the deadline until July.
Combined with evidence that lockdowns did not significantly reduce Covid deaths, when will politicians pledge ‘never again’?

So Savid, your pandemic responses were a roaring success then?
I am fortunate. In Dec 2020 I had a life saving op from which I am fully recovered. The procedure can be reversed and I was then given a vague possibility of anop after 9 months. Last December I was given an estimate of 2 more years. Luckily my condition doesn’t affect my life, but I would like the op done. If I wait that long I will be in my late 70s. I cannot have the op done privately within 300 miles. As I say, luckily my life is not on hold, nor do I have pain or disability but for how long are we supposed to put up with this situation, with additional illness being ploughed into the ever open mouth of the inefficient and wasteful NHS?
Just exactly how are they going to reduce the backlogs, caused by the hysterical Central Committee imposed lockdowns, when the Covid Health Service is already well short of health care professionals? By that I mean the individuals who deliver the care; not the
J Arthur Rankers who go by the titles of Manager or Director
I know! Get some overpaid ‘Director’ to come up with an incredibly complicated spreadsheet, full of mathematicl modelling, which passes the scrutiny of some obscenely rewarded Management Consultant and then is presented as ‘THE SOLUTION’. This is then filed away as it’s impossible to achieve in the real world. You cannot magic up more doctors, nurses, physiotherapists, radiologists etc., etc. from the magical employee tree
Wild thought: what if we found a couple of a million UK residents who make heavy use of Our NHS (and Our Housing and Our Welfare State) without ever having contributed a penny to it, and who are actually citizens of another land, and see from how many of them we can remove citizenship, benefits and public services.
He says up to 10 million people “stayed away”.
I think you’ll find most of it was because they closed everything down.
Go to any hospital today, everyone is still muzzled, waiting room chairs taped off, no sitting within 5 yards of anyone else, screens everywhere,, treatment rooms the same, wards af half capacity etc etc.
Until they actually OPEN, and I mean fully, this crisis will never be solved.
Good luck everyone.

How long before the NHS acolytes admit the 1st world healthcare systems elsewhere do not have the same backlog & didn’t dismiss patient care as quickly as the wonder of the world
What can the letters “NHS” be made to stand for?
There’s got to be something really punchy and to the point that makes us all go “yeah” and start using…just waiting to be discovered…
An alternative meaning for “WHO” would be useful too.
This relates to the case of Dr Bruchet, who was interned in a hospital after releasing the data on Canadian stillbirths

Dr. Daniel Nagase is a Canadian Medical Doctor. He is also one our doctors more concerned with doing no harm to his fellow man than follows orders and ‘not losing his job’.
Here is a video transcript.

I think it should be watched by everyone. This is what we’re facing, and the video and events explained therein reveal both the depth and the level of corruption in our sacred institutions.
It is vital for us to hear from all of our doctors: not just the ones ‘allowed to speak’
“Sajid Javid said the health service would ‘pull out all the stops’ to cope with rising demand from millions who did not get the care they needed in the pandemic.”
He’s seen the light since he was a fanatical worshipper of Ayn Rand, has he?
He’s rejected the attitude he had when he was at Deutsche Bank?
Has he f***!
Funny how pollsters can get contracts to ask questions such as whether or not people think it was Boris Johnson’s fault that Keir Starmer got harassed on the street – Savanta Com Res asked more than 1000 adults that question – but no newspaper commissions polls asking things like “Do you think Sajid Javid is telling the truth when he says he’s going to try damned hard to ensure that those who haven’t had the health treatment they need will get it quite soon?”
Is he
a) lying ?
b) telling the truth ?
c) neither of the above, because whether or not the words that come out of his mouth and go into a microphone are true or not is never a consideration for him?
THIS is the kind of point that the work of so many of the… Read more »
Bell and Rogers target TRUCKERS with planned blackout (after they had their fuel stolen)
THE BLACKOUT WILL BE PUBLICIZED
I will be doing my best to keep lines of communication open. Trudeau asked the truckers to go home. They said no. So he’s commanding the cell companies to refuse service in a planned blackout.

Bryam Bridle on the Ontario truckers and the media.
https://viralimmunologist.substack.com/p/a-video-that-needs-to-go-viral
Here is a quick update from what I saw at the front lines…
I saw in real-time the lies being generated by the government, police administrators, and the mainstream media. First, Prime Minister Trudeau calling the trucker convoy a ‘small fringe minority’ is, as most of you know by know, laughable. It is anything but. I met with hundreds of truckers, some of the farmers, and their supporters. These are ‘salt of the earth’ folks. Very likeable, incredibly friendly, extremely respectful, helpful, unbelievably hard-working, and totally dedicated to the freedom of all Canadians. I observed many of them holding doors for people and offering to carry luggage…..

Rick Nicholls MPP asks Christine Elliot Ontario minister of health about Waterloo’s 85 stillbirths from January to July 2021 at Waterloo hospital in Ontario CANADA
Genocide = clot shot / gene jabs + shortages (deliberate) of care – food – fuel [prices] etc.
And yet the story two items down is that deaths are 9% below normal!
Would this by any chance be connected with a lot of people not being subject to NHS treatment?
Fortunately most medical treatments are unnecessary anyway. I personally know a few attention craving people who run, as a sort of pastime, from one doctor to another despite never having been cured of any of their imagined ailments by said doctors. They also like to swallow all sorts of pills, and are not very fond of healthy lifestyle because unlike the doctor & pill “solution” it takes a lot of perseverance and effort.
“NHS waiting lists will not start to come down until 2024, the Health Secretary warned”
Well yes, the next 2 years will see a large die off from novel blood clots and myocarditis.
My personal strategy is to stay as healthy and free of chronic disease for as long as possible and when disease comes knocking – because eventually it does – accept it with dignity and just go.
I expect nothing from the health service and in any case I refuse to make the last stage of my life a procession of visits to a dreary hospital, to meet with doctors going through the motions and following protocols that are as much about enriching drug companies as they are about keeping me alive.
Lying in a depressing hospital bed, surrounded by the family members the service has authorised to be by my side (coz that’s not going to change), listening to explanations of why I’ve been put on the Liverpool Care Pathway and having a tired nurse asking me if I want some more medication, is not how I’m planning to go.
Me too. Hopefully I’ve got plenty of time left yet but when the inevitable decline begins it’s a room booked in a top class hotel and a bottle of decent brandy and pills for me!
Vaccine spike antigen and mRNA persist for two months in lymph node germinal centers… protein production of spike is higher than those of severely ill COVID-19 patients!
https://rwmalonemd.substack.com/p/a-health-public-policy-nightmare
This study asserts that the mRNA and the spike protein produced persists for weeks in lymph node germinal centers in human patients.
Having worked with mRNA for decades, I can attest that this is highly unusual.
One very real hypothesis is that the substitution of pseudouridine for uridine to avoid the immune response is working so well that the mRNA is completely evading the normal clearance/degradation pathways.
Hence, mRNA that is not being incorporated into cells at the injection site, is migrating to the lymph nodes (and throughout the body as the non-clinical Pfizer data suggest?) and continuing to express protein there. In this case, the cytotoxic protein antigen is spike
.
Spike protein can be detected for at least 60 days after administration of dose.
Note that the duration of the protein expression was only tested for 60 days.

This is an indication of what the corporations expect to happen and is redirecting away from “vaccine” injury to alleged long-term covid effects to bamboozle and hide the long term “vaccine” adverse events which is what is being really discussed in this article.

How does the ‘Health Secretary’ plan to alleviate the problem? By forcing out thousands of NHS staff because they refuse his clotshot?
I’m up to 2 years now. My father was massively delayed and had to pester like a madman for his radiotherapy. Every time he got through there was a typical response “ooooh someone should have called you, I’ll look in to it and send you a letter”. Rinse and repeat.
It makes me angry when people have to constantly pester their doctor in order to get anything done. I always worry about the ones who don’t feel able to do that.
patients are so inconvenient to our tikioking NHS angels
Very interesting interview with Todd Callendar – the lawyer who is representing 400K members of the US military who have refused to take the potion. He states that the jabbed are no longer defacto human in law having been genetically modified by corporations, taking into account legal judgments made to date in this area relating to plants but the same principles apply.

Thanks for this. I keep hoping common sense will prevail, but the last two years have been discouraging – to put it mildly.
How’s the Nightingale Hospitals (take 2) coming along. Have they all been closed again?
(When the morons were banging pots and pans for the NHS I received a text from a neighbour asking where I was. I’m so smug and proud to have replied back “I understand statistics”).
I remember how I was scorned for sharing my disgust at the dancing doctors, and I remember vividly how people tutted when I said the weekly celebration of the NHS was like a fanatical dog doing tricks for its owner.
People in my town launched fireworks. They decorated their houses with light desplays, thanking the NHS. They played loud music, banged their pots and pans, blew whistles, etc. One house had set up drums and he went crazy like Animal off the Muppets at 8pm every Thursday.
All from the immediate area of their cages, formally known as their home.
To be honest, I’ve never felt smug about anything over the last 2 years. I find no joy watching the world around me collapse into insanity and suffering.
Wouldn’t that have been ‘a fanatical owner doing tricks for its dog’?
The important thing is we protected the NHS and kept people SAFE.
You cannot argue with that – and only we will. They call our evidence tendentious, even as their own is never questioned.
Euphoric morons transitioning out of the scamdemic, not truth and evidence, will determine the rosy futures of those complicit.
It seems if you lie, lie, and lie again, and throw in some coercion and propaganda, you end up with so big a lie, it becomes truth absolute as far as the public are concerned.
“you end up with so big a lie, it becomes truth absolute” Hitler knew the score – if you’re going to lie, lie big.
The difference is, this gov will continue to shape the minds and hearts of the public to make sure there is no moment of truth: no ‘horror’, no riots, no revolution. The people will ‘appropriate’ the meaning given to their experiences by the authorities.
A fake shared solidarity Black Death covers over a multitude of sins, facts, and truths.
But they can’t make all of us believe it.
