The pandemic has caused a ‘hidden backlog’ of almost 5million people needing NHS treatment, a report has revealed. Referrals for routine hospital care plummeted by a third between January and August. There were 4.7million fewer people referred for treatment – such as hip, knee and cataract surgery – compared to the same period the year before, the Health Foundation revealed.

Rumours are swirling that Joel Fitzgibbon is plotting to bring down Anthony Albanese's leadership of the Labor Party after he dramatically quit the frontbench on Tuesday. The 58-year-old MP for the New South Wales coal-mining seat of Hunter stepped down as shadow agriculture and resources minister amid an ongoing disagreement over climate and energy policy. Mr Fitzgibbon, a strong supporter of the gas and coal industries, believes Labor is out of touch with blue-collar workers and needs a more moderate position on climate change to make the party electable again. Several Labor politicians said he and Mr Albanese had an explosive argument at a shadow cabinet meeting on Monday night, which was described by one frontbencher as 'the worst I've ever seen'.

Justin Kenneth Radford, 29, was arrested by the Australian Federal Police in February after he allegedly filmed himself sexually abusing children Police have rescued 46 Australian children - including 16 from a child care centre - in one of the biggest alleged child sex abuse cases in the country's history.  Fourteen arrests have been made over what investigators have labelled 'abhorrent' systemic sexual abuse - with 828 charges laid.   The alleged offenders are accused of producing and sharing child abuse material to an online network.  Operation Arkstone was launched following the February arrest of Justin Radford, 30, in Wyong on the NSW Central Coast.  Police seized a number of devices from his home and discovered social media forums where some members were allegedly producing child abuse material, while others were accessing and circulating it.   Investigators have since uncovered more than a dozen alleged offenders from three states -  NSW, Queensland and Western Aus

Three in four Britons would take the Covid vaccine, including nearly nine in ten elderly, according to a Daily Mail poll. Only 7 per cent said they would not have it under any circumstances. The poll also showed that Pfizer’s breakthrough jab was the best news of the year for many – and as significant as the fall of the Iron Curtain. However there was a note of caution, with seven in ten feeling lockdown restrictions should stay in place for now. Four in ten said the Prime Minister and fellow politicians should take the vaccination first to show it was safe. The poll came as Matt Hancock unveiled details of the ‘mammoth logistical operation’ required to inoculate huge swathes of the population within weeks. The Health Secretary said the roll-out would ‘inject hope into millions of arms this winter’. The programme will include GPs offering jabs from 8am to 8pm seven days a week and: In a poll conducted by the Daily Mail, nearly nine in ten elderly people said they would take the Covid v

A teenage Jehovah's Witness must have a blood transfusion to save her life despite her religious objections, a senior judge ruled today. The High Court heard doctors must go ahead with the procedure because, although the 15-year-old is intelligent and able to make her own decisions, she should not be allowed to die. But Sir James Munby said his ruling had been made in great haste because of the girl's condition and that she may be able to refuse transfusions in the future. Sir James Munby, pictured above, said his ruling had been made in great haste because of the girl's condition He called for judges to reconsider legal precedents set down nearly 30 years ago which say that children should have no say in whether they accept medical treatment they do not want. The case mirrors the dilemmas faced by the family court judge played by Emma Thompson in 2017's The Children Act. In the film, based on the novel by Ian McEwan, the judge orders that a 17-year-old Jehovah's Wi

Fifty Tory MPs have joined a new anti-lockdown group vowing to fight against any new coronavirus lockdown, according to reports. The 'Covid Recovery Group' will aim to fight against any Government plan to extend current coronavirus lockdown restrictions after the beginning of next month. England is currently in a second national lockdown until December 2 - with pubs and bars closed and all but essential travel banned.  Boris Johnson has vowed that the restrictions will be lifted and replaced with regional measures on December 2. But if Mr Johnson does pursue extended measures or a third national lockdown, could now face a fight from the new Tory anti-lockdown group, reports the Telegraph. The 50-strong group, led by ex-Government Chief Whip Mark Harper and former Brexit Minister Steve Baker, launches on Thursday, the paper reports.

Less than a fortnight ago, Sir Sean Connery died in his sleep, aged 90, and those who paid lavish tribute to the screen’s first and greatest James Bond have seemed determined to confer heroic status on him. Scotland’s First Minister, Nicola Sturgeon, said she was ‘heartbroken’ to hear of his death, adding: ‘Our nation is today mourning one of our best-loved sons.’ Dame Shirley Bassey, who sang the Goldfinger and Diamonds Are Forever theme songs, said: ‘He was a wonderful person, a true gentleman, and will be forever in our hearts.’ ‘He was the hero of our times,’ agreed actor Andy Garcia, his co-star in The Untouchables, for which Connery won his only Oscar. But how true is that assertion? The women of the #MeToo movement would not regard Connery as a hero at all.
