英格兰国民保健制度的常规治疗等待名单在9月略有下降,这是15年来首次年度下降,但挑战依然存在。 England's NHS routine treatment waitlist fell slightly in September, the first annual drop in 15 years, but challenges remain.

卫生部长Wes Streeting称,英格兰国家医疗服务系统常规医院治疗等候名单于9月略有下降,降至739万个程序,标志着15年来首次年度下降。 Wes Streeting称,进展归因于投资和现代化的增加。 The NHS waiting list for routine hospital treatment in England declined slightly in September to 7.39 million procedures, marking the first annual drop in 15 years, according to Health Secretary Wes Streeting, who attributed progress to increased investment and modernization. 虽然一年多的等待病人下降到180 329人,61.8%的等待时间不到18周,但数字仍然低于政府目标。 While patients waiting over a year fell to 180,329 and 61.8% waited less than 18 weeks, the figures remain below government targets. 挑战依然存在,包括10月有创纪录的A&E出勤和救护车事故、早期流感激增,接种了1 440万支疫苗,以及计划由数千名住院医生进行为期五天的罢工,这被称为“无情和不负责任 ” 。 由于持续的需求、工作人员短缺和对服务的持续压力,国民保健体系领导人警告冬天将是记录上最困难的一年。 Challenges persist, including record A&E attendances and ambulance incidents in October, an early flu surge with 14.4 million vaccinations administered, and a planned five-day strike by thousands of resident doctors, which Streeting called “reckless and irresponsible.” NHS leaders warn winter will be one of the toughest on record due to sustained demand, staff shortages, and ongoing pressure on services.
