Record numbers of patients spent more than four hours in accident and emergency units in England in January according to figures leaked to the BBC. The same data also suggests, record numbers of people waited longer than 12 hours for a hospital bed once seen in A&E.

Also this week its been revealed that the number of people facing "long waits" for hospital treatment in England has more than doubled in the past four years. Patients needing routine care such as knee and hip replacements are meant to be treated in 18 weeks under NHS rules.  But the numbers waiting longer than that now top 350,000 - a 163% rise since 2012. There are 3.7 million people in total on the waiting list.

Given that background, Jules asks the question how long are you waiting for NHS treatment in Kent?
