UK PM Rishi Sunak admits failing to meet pledged NHS waiting list.

UK Prime Minister Rishi Sunak has admitted that he failed to meet his pledge of cutting NHS waiting lists, which he made a priority last year. The NHS waiting list stood at 7.61 million treatments in January 2023, higher than when Sunak made the pledge. Sunak attributed the situation to industrial action, the pandemic, and increased demand for services. He also acknowledged poor performance in A&E and ambulance waiting times.
