Quicker diagnosis for serious conditions
Quicker diagnosis for serious conditions – so your NHStreatment is not delayed
Your chances of surviving life-threatening and debilitating illnesses improve the swifter the diagnosis. When a GP considers you may have a serious illness we will make sure you are offered diagnosis by the quickest practical route, public or private, so that the
NHScan treat you more quickly. More tests and scans will be available in places like GPs’ surgeries and community pharmacies. We will tackle the scandal of expensive scanners being under-used by investing in training, recruitment and retention of the key staff needed to operate them. We will provide more scans at weekends and in the evenings. We will publish waiting times for tests and scans – figures which the Labour Government has refused to make public.
