There were 97,000 GP referrals to hospital in July, against a target of 86,000, while other referrals for a first outpatient appointment were 10,000 over plan at 72,000

Elective first finished consultant episodes stood at 53,000 against a plan of 51,000, while non elective first finished consultant episodes numbered 50,000 against a target of 46,000.
