Worse. Parents searching in vainforan nhs worse. Parents searching in vain for an Nhs Dentist for their kids. And cancer patients waiting months or even years to start treatment. The Conservative Party left office with almost 6. 5 million people languishing on hospital Waiting Lists. , that is one in every nine people in england. A single astonishing statistic that encapsulates an appalling legacy of failure from the last conservative government. And a disaster for our society and our economy. Just imagine.
