NHS England is pushing ahead with plans to replace the NHS’s four-hour emergency target with a new set of 10 metrics, it has announced today.
The announcement follows a consultation launched in December on its latest proposals, although any final plans will still require government signoff (see box below for the 10 new metrics).
NHSE/I said in a press release: “In an NHS consultation four out of five respondents said they would welcome a bundle of measures. The specific proposals were endorsed by two thirds, 67%, of respondents and opposed by just 13%.”
However, NHSE/I said in a report on the proposals that it had not yet been established how the new basket of metrics would be used as a performance measure and that the proposals still needed government sign-off.
