NHS waiting times has been the hot-button topic of the 2024 general election.
The NHS, like many other health systems, is still dealing with the effects of COVID-19 but the challenges it faces predate the pandemic.
So far, attempts to fix the emergency services crisis have largely involved short-term solutions without looking at the root causes.
The problems facing the NHS have been years in the making: a result of poor decision-making, lack of political consensus and chronic underinvestment.
Ambulance services are facing unfair criticism for a situation which is not of their making. The workforce is in crisis, with system-wide pressures seriously hampering their ability to do their jobs.
Tenants in social housing and the private rental market alike face discrimination and a lack of disrepair regulation.
New regulations, training systems and research are underway but there’s much still to be done.
Nearly 90% of emergency service staff have experienced stress, low mood and poor mental health.
It will take time to digest the details of the 830-plus page report from phase one of the inquiry, but there are clear improvements to be made.
The UK’s blue light services need to adapt and modernise or they will face their own emergency.
