Answer

Will 35 new pharmacies in Mallorca actually mean shorter waiting times?

They could help, especially in busy areas such as Palma and other larger towns where demand is high. But approval alone does not solve the problem, because staffing, opening times and location planning still determine whether people actually notice an improvement. Some residents may wait less, while others may not see much change for some time.
