Are you concerned about the impact on Londoners of the growing waiting lists for hospital care, which recently reached seven million across England? Is there anything City Hall can do to help Londoners access the operations they need?

I share your concern that the number of Londoners waiting to access NHS care remains high. I know this is a top priority for the NHS in London, and positive steps have been taken.

However, there is far more work to be done to get waiting lists down. I meet regularly with senior NHS leaders to support and challenge the NHS to make every effort to build on this progress and help ensure Londoners CAN access the operations they need. I will also continue to lobby central government to give the NHS in London the resources it needs to bring waiting lists down further.
