Waiting lists are receding under the present government as is immigration.
The highest nhs satisfaction rating was in 2010 of 70% but fell away sharply in the tory years to around 20%, they really were that bad.
Failed neo-liberalist policies such as privatisation are enduring under labour, if it doesn't work nobody is going, at present, to fix it.
But labour are doing better than the tories.
Remember that saying, 'you can't trust the tories on the nhs?'

But if we cut the aid these countries couldn't train all the doctors and nurses we nick off them.
They certainly are and there have been various media reports about how the NHS is reducing them through dubious means rather than improved productivity.
Personally I have been kicked off a waiting now at least 3 times (nothing I did) each time they had not solved my issue.
Example I have a torn rotator cuff I was told a cortisone injection might help but would not cure it. Three months after the injection having been told to come back I was told I was kicked off the waiting list the day I had it even though I had been told it would not solve my problem and to come back when it wore off.
If the NHS looked at my treatment they would say they met their targets. I would say that after 1 year I still have not been referred to a consultant for advice on surgery which I have been asking for since my first scan revealed the issue.

Read about my mum earlier. Got seen by the minions within an hour so target met. The fact she sat there for 7 hours with a fractured arm didn’t get recorded strangely !

Our doctors have "cut" waiting times by not actually seeing many patients. If you can get through on the phone which is difficult you'll probably get a triage call back where you describe your symptoms and the doctor will issue a prescription. At least prescriptions are free in Scotland.
