4 days agoDoctors warn hospitals under pressure as NHS waiting lists rise
NHS England said many more patients were coming forward for treatment and a doctors' strike in July left 50,000 appointments cancelled.

"Crumbling hospital buildings are leading surgeons to have to compete for space, directly contributing to delays and leaving patients waiting for the care they need," said the organisation's vice president Prof Frank Smith.
