- Description
Under the heading 'Operating Procedure', Health Minister Jonathan Coleman tells a patient with a walking frame that they're not 'hurdles' they're 'thresholds', while the image shows an ever-increasing series of hurdles labelled 'pain', 'disability' and 'waiting list', with the final hurdle being hoisted even higher by a medical professional. Refers to allegations the government is distorting elective surgery waiting list figures by meeting targets only by making thresholds higher.
Cartoonist also tweeted that 'will get worse whn list reduced to 4 months'.
