Cyfr, I think they're doing it for the completely wrong reasons. There should not be targets that need to be met, to get people treated within 18weeks. The targets should be about people getting better, period. No timescales, how does this achieve anything other than getting people rushed through and hence giving worse care because you're having to rush people through to meet deadlines?

Codswallop! Anything that will speed waiting times up no matter who is drafted in to do it will save LIVES, if you contract for instance any sort of cancer,wait 18 weeks for a diagnosis then god knows how long for a scan etc, then to see a specialist who deals with your complaint, it will be to late to treat it. The speed that some of these diseases is phenomenal, the jobs at Blackburn Royal are bound to be safe as they cannot cope with the volume of patients now, so who cares who sees you as long as it is done early enough!
