Take a look

Sunak
choosing to make it more of a focus
NHS is my top priority
Tackling NHS back logs is a national emergency
back log task force
Eliminate over 1yr waits
Father a GP mother a pharmacist

Thoughts…
Interesting lack of attention and lack of traction for these issues in the media
Main focus on economic policy - maybe this is a good thing - political input to health isn’t always positive
Hoping for continuity and improvement rather than another shake up
