How are NHS waiting lists affecting you and your family?

7.8 million people are on NHS waiting lists. That's a record high. Are you one of them? How are NHS waiting lists are affecting you and your family?

On Call You and Yours, we'd like to know how NHS waiting lists are affecting you and your family? 

Record numbers of people are waiting for NHS treatments. The numbers have soared in recent years from 4.4 million before the pandemic to 7.8 million today. As winter approaches they look set to increase further still. 

With a pandemic and industrial action its been a very challenging time for the NHS. Monthly treatments are growing at a faster rate than pre-pandemic levels. But the waiting list is still rising as people come forward having postponed seeking treatment. 

We want to know what impact this is having on the lives of people waiting. Whether a small procedure or an urgent condition - how long have you been waiting and what impact has that had on you? 

You might have had a positive experience and not had to wait very long for your treatment - we want to hear from you as well. 

Email us now - you and yours @ bbc.co.uk or call us on Tuesday from 11am on 03700 100 444
