New research shows impact of strikes on NHS waiting lists

Future Health’s research into the impact of strikes on NHS waiting lists was covered in the Guardian on Saturday. The research found that 3 million patients may be affected and that the South West is set to be the region hardest hit: https://www.theguardian.com/society/2022/nov/11/nhs-nurses-strike-surgery-could-be-delayed
