One year on, have ‘crack teams’ cut NHS waiting lists? @sarahopie-martin.bsky.social, Francesca Cavallaro and @charlestallack.bsky.social look at claims the first year of the Further Faster 20 programme reduced waiting lists more quickly in participating NHS trusts than in others ⬇️ bit.ly/4tkqTAq

Flu admissions are rising earlier this year – currently three times higher than usual. But levels are still considered low, as are Covid/RSV admissions. Increasing vaccination among NHS staff and vulnerable groups is key See @healthfoundation.bsky.social analysis on last winter: bit.ly/43HCO0h

Rachel Reeves’ speech today ahead of the Budget hailed the government’s success in cutting the waiting list by 200,000 – but is this progress enough to reach their target of 92% waits ≤18 weeks by 2029? Our projections show, if trends continue, they would fall short of this target: bit.ly/4nUuzFT

The Labour government’s most prominent commitment on health is to get waiting times back to 18 weeks by the end of the Parliament. Are they on track? We looked at this for last night’s Peston show youtu.be/yc-9Psk3gk8?... 🧵
