Eliminated longer waits altogether through the elective recovery plan, delivering on the plan to speed up access to treatment and cut waiting lists. The Conservatives virtually eliminated waits of over 18 month, and waiting lists fell by around 170,000 from September 2023 to 2024. The UK saw the biggest waiting time fall in ten years outside the pandemic.

Recruited a record number of doctors and nurses for the NHS. Between February 2023 and February 2024, the Conservatives recruited 7,167 more FTE doctors and 21,241 more FTE nurses, meaning there were 45,911 more doctors and 75,263 more nurses since 2010, helping to cut waiting lists and deliver better care for patients.

Improved cancer survival rates by nearly 10 per cent since 2005 as the Government sought to create a smokefree generation and protected young people from what remains the biggest cause of cancer in the UK. Due to the prioritisation of cancer diagnosis and treatment, the first-year survival rate for cancer has risen 9 per cent since 2005 to 74.6 per cent in 2020, with rates of survival for some cancers even higher.

Increased NHS funding by over a third in real terms since 2010, supporting the health service. The Conservatives increased the NHS budget to £164.9 billion in 2024-25, a real terms increase of over a third since 2010 and by 13 per cent over the course of the parliament.
