Surely GPs could submit data about when their patients were referred and when they were treated and by which trust, and this could be used to monitor actual RTT and waiters more accurately.

The system relies on trusts self reporting with the choice of honesty+sanctions or fabrication/incompetence.

Like the pre 1990 Russian widget factories, they tend to tell the Kremlin what they want to hear.
