Patients wait four weeks to see doctor...10m times!

The research by the Liberal Democrats found 2024 is on course to notch up a record for doctor's sessions with month-long delays.

NHS data shows there have been 10.3 million waits in the seven months to July. That is far higher than the equivalent period last year when 8.6 million were logged.

This year is on track to top last year's record of 17.6 million fourweek waits for a GP consultation.

Lib Dem leader Sir Ed Davey said: "Everyone should be able to see a doctor when they need one, but the Conservative Party broke the NHS so badly that millions of people are waiting weeks for an appointment.
