The NHS has disputed analysis of the data
More than 3,000 people died while on waiting lists at University Hospitals of Morecambe Bay NHS Foundation Trust , according to newly released data.
However, NHS England stressed Labour’s analysis did not demonstrate a link between waits and deaths and praised its staff for helping to bring down the backlog for elective care. Across the 35 acute trusts that responded with data, the total number of deaths stood at 30,611, according to Labour. Strikes over long-running pay disputes across the health service have seen tens of thousands of appointments, operations and procedures postponed in recent months, according to NHS leaders, which the Government has blamed for the backlog. Mr Streeting said: “Record numbers of people are spending their final months in pain and agony, waiting for treatment that never arrives. The basic promise of the NHS – that it will be there for us when we need it – has been broken.
“Our hardworking staff have made significant progress bringing down long waits for elective care, and nationally the NHS is working with the most challenged trusts to ensure patients continue to see reductions in waiting times right across the country, with patients who have been waiting the longest and those with the highest clinical need prioritised.”
