The NHS have released updated monthly figures for some of their key performance statistics.
With a target of 95% for A&E referrals to be dealt with in 4 hours, many hospitals are falling well below this, with Nottingham University Hospitals NHS Trust at the lowest percentage at just under 59.5%.
27 Trusts managed to meet or exceed the 95% target, with 7 attaining a 100% rate.
The 62 day cancer referral targets are still being missed by a lot of trusts:
A number of trusts are cancelling critical operations:
County Durham and Darlington NHS Foundation Trust have the second most cancelled critical operations for the second month in a row.
Over a quarter of patients at Taunton and Somerset NHS Foundation Trust waited for more than 6 weeks to receive diagnostic tests.
You can see how your local NHS trust is performing against these metrics and more. Just visit our NHS Performance Tracker and use the search function to find your trust.
If you believe the NHS care you or a family member have received was not up to expected standards, maybe due to a delay in diagnosis due to not receiving diagnostic tests in the expected timeframes, you may have grounds to pursue a medical negligence claim. Blackwater Law have experienced medical negligence solicitors ready to listen to your case and advise you if you have a potential claim.
