    • NHS Waiting Lists Reach 7.8 Million, Industrial Action at Port Talbot, and Mother's Day GiftsNHS waiting lists reach a record high of 7.8 million, steel workers plan to strike, and consider thoughtful gifts for Mother's Day

      Despite the government's investment in improving healthcare services, the number of people waiting for NHS care continues to rise, with over 7.8 million people currently on waiting lists. This is an increase of 300,000 compared to January last year. The prime minister, Rishi Sunak, has described the fall in the number of people on waiting lists for the fifth month in a row as positive, but demand for healthcare services is also increasing. Hospitals had their busiest ever month in March, with over 2 million people attending A&E departments, and around 10% of those patients waiting more than 12 hours. In other news, steel workers at Port Talbot are planning to go on strike over proposed blast furnace closures, marking the first time in over 40 years that they will take industrial action. Meanwhile, a self-proclaimed hoarder in the US is selling off over £50 million worth of cars and shoes to address his wife's concerns about clutter.
