In the Guardian today, the above further evidence of UK Labour’s real intentions for the NHS – allow it to fail then sell it off.

Meanwhile in Scotland, to zero media coverage:

From Public Health Scotland on 24 November 2024, the above graph showing a reducing number waiting for diagnostic tests for the last three quarters, a steady fall since the peak in early 2022, and this for the quarter ending 30 September 2024 [most recent data]:

When compared to the previous quarter-end, six of the eight key diagnostic tests saw a decrease in the number of ongoing waits reported. Waits for a CT scan showed a reduction of 11% (-3,104), colonoscopy waits reduced by 11% (-1,433), non-obstetric ultrasound reduced by 9% (-5,122), and MRI waits reduced by 5% (-1,362). On the other hand, small increases were seen for cystoscopy (+5%, +269), and barium studies (+10%, +29).
