      That’s great news.. but it does feel like the NHS only treats cancer patients these days!

      I had to wait 6 months for an eye appointment

      Some good news on this sub for once!

      I think I’ve been more on the lucky side when it came to my diagnosis, it was quick, and treatment was relatively quick, the fact that more people are getting diagnosed quicker is a very good thing. (End of treatment results in a few days, so fuck cancer)

      The earlier cancer is diagnosed, the better chances there is for patients, even for people who are terminal, they can offer more time, which for many people like parents, more time can be everything.

      It would be interesting to see the insights on this good news post, I wonder how much its getting downvoted to bury it.

      Cool that cancer patients are finally getting seen faster, but wild how fixing the NHS only happens right before an election.

      I had a minor op (non-cancer) on Friday that I have been waiting nearly 3 years for, it’s been pushed back so many times I’d given up. Once labour got into power I received a call telling me the hospital was pushing through the backlog of old cases, nice to feel things are moving.

      i dont know if its connected but a four people I know have had great NHS experiences recently. its such a shame they chose to be so awful about sickness benefits and disability benefits as otherwise I would be ok with them so far. health is the most important element, people on boats is an issue but my dad having a mini stroke and getting his operation 2 days later is far far more important to me and our family.
