NHS targets not being met, says Labour

Labour's Louise Haigh has rejected the news that NHS targets are being met.

It comes as the health secretary revealed waiting lists have fallen for the fifth month in a row.

"Waiting lists are still 320,000 higher than when Rishi Sunak became prime minister so he's failing on his own metrics.

A&E waiting times are higher as are ambulance waits," she said.
