Chart shows annual increases in elective hospital activity and discharges from the waiting list. Title states: "Hospital productivity growth is leading to large increases in elective activity, but much slower progress on cutting waiting lists."
NEW: Strong productivity growth and increasing funding has meant English hospitals have been delivering much more elective (pre-planned) care.
So why isn't the waiting list going down more quickly?

I urge you to note here how much of British politics and media - and indeed British culture in general - is just bullying, and little more. It’s a daily exercise in enforcing the social hierarchy by reminding everyone who they can and cannot kick. That’s why our most famous sitcoms are like that.

It’s weird that news organizations like the BBC are covering this as if it’s a real thing with a real process behind it—and not clearly some nakedly invented “participation trophy” by a corrupt organization to curry favor with a corrupt and easily manipulated man-child. www.bbc.com/sport/footba...
