NAO Report

The PMOS said that while he understood the media’s focus on Iraq today, he thought it worthwhile to note the very good results contained in the NAO’s report on A&E waiting lists today which showed that we had moved from a situation in 2002/3 where only just under 80% of people had been seen within four hours or less, to 95% of people being seen within that timeframe in June this year. We were on target to hit 98% by the end of the year. He was making this point because one evening paper had presented this positive story as a disaster. If it was a disaster, we wanted more like it.
