Shadow health secretary says regional waiting lists could help people get hospital treatment quicker.
Labour would give people greater choice over where they receive hospital treatment, the shadow health secretary has pledged.
Speaking on the BBC's Sunday with Laura Kuenssberg programme, Mr Streeting said organising waiting lists on a regional basis would give patients "real choice" over where they are seen. In his BBC interview, Mr Streeting said many patients were unaware about their rights to choice over treatment, or don't "feel the freedom to exercise that choice".
He said that the proportions of spending were "very different" in other developed economies that have "much better outcomes than we have here in the UK". Speaking on Sunday with Laura Kuenssberg, former Tory chairman Sir Jake Berry rubbished Labour's approach, saying the party was aiming to "do more of what the Conservative government is already doing".plans to let high street pharmacies prescribe a greater range of common prescription drugs, including antibiotics, to ease the pressure on GPs.
