T Blair eventually put a stop to that sort of thing BUT it has re-emerged as treatment rationing - you only put people who are actually sick on the waiting list.
My missus (at risk of developing glaucoma and supposed to get 6 monthly checkups) routinely has her check-up appointments cancelled and then they simply fail to make her another one.
B*stards! ... The medical profession has only had 3000 years to figure out how to get patients through their waiting rooms and they are still learning.
