- Trusts missing largely lower “reset” targets for elective treatment times
- Performance means organisations could miss out on sustainability and transformation funding
- Total waiting list approaches 4 million
More than half of England’s hospital trusts have missed their elective waiting time targets set by NHS Improvement.
HSJ analysis of the 18 week referral to treatment time data for the second quarter of 2016-17 shows 66 trusts missed targets set for them by the regulator.
The national target is for trusts to have no more than 8 per cent of their patients waiting more than 18 weeks for elective treatment – but in July NHS Improvement set different, usually lower, “reset” targets that trusts must hit to access sustainability and transformation funding.
Of the 120 trusts that signed up for reset targets from July, 42 missed them in each of the three months of quarter two. Another 24 missed in aggregate over the quarter (see table below).
A few organisations had targets set that were higher than the national 92 per cent figure in order to recover overall year-end performance.
The worst performing trust over quarter two overall was Brighton and Sussex University Hospitals Trust, where 76 per cent of patients on the waiting list had waited less than 18 weeks. This meant the trust hit its reset target of 72 per cent.
Only two of the five trusts with the lowest reset targets, Brighton and Sussex, Hull and East Yorkshire Hospitals Trust, achieved them. Hull and East Yorkshire had a rest target of 89 per cent, which it met.
Waiting times data released last week for September showed a record high overall waiting list for treatment. The total waiting list hit 3.7 million but is likely to be closer to 4 million when the patients at trusts that are not reporting waiting times are included.

A spokesman for NHS Improvement said: ”The NHS is dealing with a significant and sustained increase in demand for services, at the same time as working to become more efficient and effective. Patients rightly expect to be seen as quickly as possible and we are already working hard with providers to find ways to better manage the challenges presented by this increase in demand.”
Analysis of the latest results by waiting times expert and HSJ columnist Rob Findlay showed slightly fewer admissions per working day this year than in the previous three years.
NHS Providers head of analysis Siva Anandaciva said: “There is increasing concern that achievement of the referral to treatment target has now moved beyond reach for this year, not only for many individual trusts but also at a national level. The trajectory targets were always ambitious.
“Demand for elective operations has continued to rise but beds remain in short supply as unplanned emergency work inexorably increases and discharges become ever more delayed. So it unfortunately doesn’t come as a great surprise that much less of the 30 per cent of performance sustainability and transformation funding will be achieved than we hoped at the beginning of the year.”
