This data comes at a time when public satisfaction with the health service, which has been severely affected by Covid, is at its lowest level since records began 40 years ago.
More than a million appointments and operations have been cancelled due to a seemingly endless wave of National Health Service strikes that began in 2022, exacerbating delays.
The crisis has even led some patients to opt to cash in their pensions and dip into family savings to turn to the private sector in an attempt to avoid long NHS queues.
LabourThe 131-page manifesto promises to address National Health Service Waiting lists, the never-ending crisis of dental appointments and poor maternity care. Two in three maternity units in England are considered not safe enough.
Mister Keir Starmer has insisted that Labour will “bring the NHS back to performance standards”, doubling the number of cancer scanners and add 8,500 new mental health staff to the NHS.
Meanwhile, the Conservatives have pledged to provide 2.5 million more NHS dental appointments, cut cancer waiting times and ban disposable e-cigarettes altogether.
Rishi Sunak’s party has also promised to build or modernise 250 GP surgeries if it wins the election.
Sir Ed Davey’s Liberal Democrats have promised to prioritise mental health support and give everyone the right to see their GP within seven days.
Meanwhile, Nigel Farage’s Reform UK party is offering a 20 per cent tax break on private healthcare and insurance to encourage more people to use alternatives to the NHS.
