'The figures do not specify how people died, or whether the death was related to the care they were expecting from the NHS. The data also does not contain ages or medical conditions'
This is a mischievous use of statistics
If an eighty year-old dies from a heart condition while waiting for an appointment at their local hearing clinic, they make this list
All this data really tells us is that the NHS is underfunded and badly managed, leading to backlogs and delays in treatment
Which is already obvious to everyone
