Description
On More or Less this week, we reveal the data that asks questions of the government's record on hospital waiting lists. Following earlier reports on what is known as "gaming" in the NHS -... that is, finding ways of getting around targets, or hitting the target but missing the point, as it is sometimes called - we were contacted by a number of people with direct experience of working in the NHS who said that they had more examples of their own. Plus why the changing income of middle and low earners may have influenced the recent US mid-term elections.
