(THE NATIONAL PULSE) – An estimated 121,000 patients died while waiting for National Health Service (NHS) treatment in England last year, according to figures obtained by the Labour Party through freedom of information requests. The party claims these record numbers indicate that people are spending their final months in agony while on waitlists for care. Labour extrapolated data from 35 NHS trusts to estimate a total of 120,695 deaths occurred across 138 trusts in the country.
Last year, a similar extrapolation suggested 117,000 patients died waiting for treatment from Britain’s socialized healthcare provider, ludicrously dubbed the “envy of the world,” though millions of Britons are now hurriedly turning to private care.
