The performance of hospitals across the UK has slumped with targets for cancer, A&E and planned operations now being missed en masse, BBC research shows.
Nationally England, Wales and Northern Ireland have not hit one of their three key targets for 18 months.
Only Scotland has had any success in the past 12 months – hitting its A&E target three times.
Ministers accepted growing demand had left the NHS struggling to keep up as doctors warned patients were suffering.
The findings are being revealed as the BBC launches its online NHS Tracker project, which allows people to see how their local service is performing on three key waiting time targets:
- Four-hour A&E waits
- 62-day cancer care
- Planned operations and treatment
