Letter: League tables don't serve NHS
Your support helps us to tell the story
From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging.
At such a critical moment in US history, we need reporters on the ground. Your donation allows us to keep sending journalists to speak to both sides of the story.
The Independent is trusted by Americans across the entire political spectrum. And unlike many other quality news outlets, we choose not to lock Americans out of our reporting and analysis with paywalls. We believe quality journalism should be available to everyone, paid for by those who can afford it.
Your support makes all the difference.Sir: The hospital where our son is a consultant surgeon, through working round the clock to reduce waiting lists, has had operating theatres and wards closed because the money has run out.
I am sure it would find a better use for half a million pounds than to have it spent on a league table supposedly to reduce waiting lists.
Is there any plan to publish league tables for MPs?
Yours sincerely,
