NHS 'crack teams' slash waiting lists
The Chronicle
|January 17, 2026
OVERALL WAIT LIST IS DOWN BY OVER 13,000
THE Government says that socalled "crack teams" sent into twenty NHS hospital trusts around the country including in Newcastle have brought down waiting lists three times quicker than on average.
The then-new Labour Government announced the move in September 2024, not long after coming to power.
In that time, the overall waiting list at the Newcastle Hospitals NHS Trust is down by more than 13,000.
The 20 NHS trusts chosen to be part of the "Further Faster 20" (FF20) programme were selected on the basis of being in areas with the nation's highest levels of economic inactivity.
The hope was that this would "cut waiting lists and boost growth".
