Community clinics will cut NHS waiting lists, vows Sunak

New community diagnostic centres will ensure the Government target of cutting waiting lists is met, Rishi Sunak has said.

The Prime Minister has hailed the community clinics as a key plank in his efforts to drive down NHS waits, with six new centres opening across the east of England, the Midlands and the South East.

More than 100 are already being used across England, with over 30 more set to open before the end of the year.

Amid ongoing pressure on the NHS, ministers are hoping the “one stop shops” for tests, checks and scans can relieve the strain.
