How Do We Fix Our Waiting Lists?

NHS waiting lists in Northern Ireland are the worst in the UK, with patients waiting for more than half a million hospital appointments. Lyndsey Telford hears some of their stories, including a four-year-old boy who’s been waiting half his life for surgery on his hips, and a woman who has saved to go private. She asks a panel of some of the UK’s top health experts how we fix this healthcare crisis.
