A new study has revealed how NHS waiting lists are pushing patients into risky choices - with some delaying or even avoiding care altogether, despite potential cancer symptoms.
A new study has revealed how NHS waiting lists are pushing patients into risky choices - with some delaying or even avoiding care altogether, despite potential cancer symptoms. The survey of 2,000 adults found nearly a third (29%) have put off seeking care due to long waits, while more than one in five (22%) admit they have avoided seeking care altogether. Alarmingly, one in five (20%) delayed seeing a doctor even after noticing possible cancer symptoms. Doctors warn this behaviour could mean hundreds of cancers are going undiagnosed, or being caught later when survival chances are reduced. NHS data shows that more t…
