New targets mustn’t distract from the fact that NHS performance this year has seen a sharp decline Responding to the latest NHS performance figures, Professor John Appleby, Chief Economist at the Nuffield Trust said:
"These figures confirm that this year has seen an alarming slump in NHS performance against important targets. This summer was no exception, showing little sign of reprieve for staff and patients, with 6% more people turning up at A&E in August compared to last year. Over the last 6 months there has been on average over 60,000 more people waiting more than 4 hours in A&E per month compared to last year."
