PERFORMANCE: The Queen Victoria Hospital NHS Foundation Trust is planning to introduce an electronic display board to help staff and patients keep up-to-date on waiting times, according to a report to its governors.

The report states: “Progress is being made towards implementation of an electronic board which will enable theatre and ward staff to keep up-to-date with progress in theatre and any delays that may have been incurred.

“This information should also enable the ward staff to communicate approximate timings to the patients.”
