Keir Starmer to announce NHS ‘online hospital’ to help cut waiting lists

Keir Starmer, the leader of the Labour party, is set to announce the creation of an "online hospital" that aims to deliver up to 8.5 million extra NHS appointments in its first three years. The new service, called NHS Online, will connect patients to specialist clinicians and help to reduce the current backlog in the healthcare system. The government claims that this initiative will play a significant role in cutting waiting lists across the UK. The announcement is part of Starmer's leader's speech at the Labour conference, where he is expected to outline his party's plans for the NHS and other key policy areas.
