Kettering General Hospital 'filtered' data to remove waiting list patients

Kettering General Hospital 'filtered' data to remove waiting list patients A hospital accused of "fiddling" its waiting lists to meet targets has admitted it "filtered data".

Whistleblower David Phelan claimed patients were removed from lists at Kettering General Hospital because national targets were being missed.

The hospital said it used data filtering to get a "true picture of the size of its waiting list" but the practice had stopped in December 2015.

It said its data management had been "well intended, if misguided". BBC Northampton
