Hospital trusts scewing waiting listing times in "blatant fraud"

The MPs stated that the failure to record waiting occasions properly is stopping individuals from currently being ready to make informed options on exactly where they are treated.


They also identified that hospital trusts are failing to impose economic penalties when targets are missed to help “drive up specifications”.


Margaret Hodge, the chairman of the committee, said: “Public self-assurance in the good results hospital trusts have had in meeting the 18 week waiting time target is inevitably undermined by mistakes in trusts’ recording of waiting time details.


“If individuals cannot be assured of exact comparable data on the functionality of hospitals they cannot workout choice. Each GPs and their individuals require reliable and comparable data about the waiting time performance of person trusts so that they can make an informed decision about the place to be taken care of.”


Labour introduced NHS targets in 2008 which state that 90 per cent of hospital patients who need to have in-patient care and 95 per cent of individuals needing outpatient therapy must wait no longer than 18 weeks.
