Data shows NHS performance continuing to struggle

Data shows NHS performance continuing to struggle Responding to the latest performance data published by NHS England, Richard Murray, Director of Policy at The King’s Fund, said: ‘These performance statistics for February offer the latest evidence of NHS performance continuing to struggle. Although February saw some improvements as winter pressures began to ease, the NHS is still failing to meet key targets such as A&E and cancer waiting times.

‘NHS England’s recent delivery plan promises a renewed focus on addressing these delays in A&E and cancer treatment, but getting back on track will be a momentous challenge. Hospitals are clearly under severe pressure and improving key services within the current budget is a highly ambitious goal. The King's Fund
