Government to blame for spiralling NHS waiting lists, says poll

Survey, for More in Common, shows that only one in 10 believe striking doctors and nurses bear responsibility

Half of voters blame the Government for spiralling NHS waiting lists, a new poll reveals.

The survey, for More in Common, shows that only one in 10 believe striking doctors and nurses bear responsibility.

The findings will come as a blow to Rishi Sunak, who has made clearing the backlog one of his five central pledges ahead of the next election.

Earlier this month, the Prime Minister pointed the finger at walkouts by health workers as the waiting list in England surged past 7.5 million.
