However, that target has not been met since 2016. The figure is around 35 times the number in April 2020, when it stood at 11,042. The prime minister now faces a very big decision.

Downing Street documents drawn up by the Cabinet Office show Boris Johnson will have to commit between 2billion and 10billion each year for the next four years to deal with backed up waiting lists, reported The Guardian.
Dealing with waiting lists is reported as targeted by 9042 targets.
