NHS data reveals that a record 7.6 million people are now waiting for routine treatment, the highest number ever recorded. The waiting list has grown every month since May 2020, when it stood at 3.83 million. As a result, the number of patients waiting over 52 weeks to begin treatment is now approximately 35 times higher than it was just a year earlier.
If you’re a patient, that means you could spend more time waiting for your operation than ever before.
This means you simply can’t be guaranteed the treatment you may need, when you need it.
The good news? There’s an alternative - private medical insurance.
Private medical insurance ensures you get the treatment you need as soon as possible. It’s a smart way to invest in your health and peace of mind.
