NHS child care delays rise sharply in England, CQC warns

A new report from the Care Quality Commission shows that thousands of children in England are facing some of the steepest increases in healthcare waiting times in NHS history. While adult waiting times have improved in some areas, the annual state of care review finds that children and young people are being hit hardest, with long delays making conditions harder to treat. The report also highlights regional disparities in care. With soaring demand and falling numbers of staff behind the trend, the report points to a growing strain on services for young patients.

What do you think should be prioritized to ease the pressure on children's health services?
