Patients are facing delays for ongoing cancer care, heart check-ups and eye treatment in England.
Patients are facing delays stuck on hidden waiting lists that do not show up in the official figures in England, a BBC News investigation reveals.
BBC News has spoken to patients waiting months and even years for vital treatment, such as cancer care, spinal treatment and others at risk of going blind because of deteriorating eyesight.One of those is Andy Allen, 69, from Chelmsford, who has wet AMD, which causes vision to deteriorate. Many will be getting timely care, but how many of those are delayed is not known. Some say millions could be affected over the course of a year.Hospitals are meant to return patients facing unnecessary delays to the waiting list to ensure they are counted in the backlog figures.
The risk of it spreading is very low, so the 64-year-old, from Lincolnshire, has been under the care of doctors in the East Midlands for the past few years.
