Total loss of a target would be dreadful. The pt demand and
expectation has been produced by 98%, We are propping up inadequacies
elsewhere in the global nhs community. Esp OOH. interesting article
about consultants 'not pulling their weight' after 17.00 on radio 4
this eve. Suspect we are the good guys in that discussion A better
designed and more quality, less chronology, based target would be
good. And the rumour mill would suggest that the cem is pushing for at
least a partly clinically based target.... Precisley what this may be
at the end is the real question.
