the uk government is promising to cut the number of nhs patients in england who are waiting more than 18 weeks for treatment. it wants to reduce the total by nearly half a million by the end of march next year. ministers say better patient choice, and extra access to community diagnostic centres and surgical hubs are key parts of the plan. our health correspondent jim reed reports. getting checks and tests have such a home and more quickly. at least, that's the idea. the government is promising more community diagnostic centres, some in car parks, shopping centres, with extended opening hours so more can be done outside hospital. it's all part of a plan to cut into near—record waiting lists for planned treatment in england. another 1a specialist surgical hubs will also be opened byjune to carry out a simple routine operations. speaking to an audience of health care workers, the prime minister said reform is needed to stop the nhs
