NHS waiting lists to remain high until at least 2027, analysis shows

NHS waiting lists will take more than three years to be reduced to pre-pandemic levels, according to a new analysis.

The latest figures show that the waiting list for routine hospital treatment in England has fallen for the third month in a row.
