West Suffolk hospital A&E waiting times a ‘concern’

Board papers from NHS Suffolk’s January meeting said: “A contract query has been issued to West Suffolk hospital in relation to the 95% target, the ‘initial times to assessment’, and ‘single longest waiting times’.

“The trust has experienced severe difficulties during the early part of January.

“Daily performance telephone calls between the NHS Commissioning Board Local Area Team and the chief executive are now in place and the contractual RAP is being refreshed to address current issues.”
