FIGURES released by the Department of Health show that the number of people waiting to see a consultant for the first time rose by 43,000 in June.
There are now almost 2,000 more patients waiting to see a consultant than when this government came to office.
Clearly, these figures show that the solutions Labour have inflicted on the NHS have been unsuccessful.
This is yet another area where this government has failed to deliver what it promised the electorate while in opposition.
