Patients face longer wait as NHS drops fines for missed targets Patients could be forced to wait longer for operations afterNHS England suspended financial sanctions for providers that miss waiting time targets.
Fines of £233 million were imposed last financial year on services that breached performance targets.
However, as of last month the three quarters of trusts and foundation trusts in receipt of bail-outs due to forecast budgetary deficits will not be subject to sanctions.
The remainder, as well as all private providers, will still be fined. The Daily Telegraph
