We’re a year on from the elective recovery plan but today’s NHSE data shows services under extreme strain.

@RCRadiologists @NHSEngland The #stateofthewait in radiology (medical imaging).
The UK needs 410 consultant radiologists overnight (12 yrs minimum to train).
Please can I highlight this is not purely down to the pandemic - the government has been well aware of this issue for years but has failed to act.

Today’s NHSE data is disappointing and tallies with the picture our members see on the hospital floor.
Patients across England are experiencing painful waits for diagnosis and treatment, as workforce shortages slow backlog recovery.
