Imperial hits A&E target

This is above the London average for October of 96.78 per cent.

The chief executive’s report to the board said the 18-week referral to treatment time target for elective procedures had been met but some specialties were not meeting the 90 per cent measure.

These were trauma and orthopedics, ENT, general surgery and oral surgery.

The chief executive’s report said: “These will continue to under-achieve against this target as the recovery plan is progressed. Overall trust performance should stay above 90 per cent due to high performance in other specialties.”
