UK: NHS Urgent Cancer Referral Targets Missed for First Time
26th August 2018
GPs are supposed to identify patients whose symptoms suggest cancer for “urgent referral” to a hospital specialist.
NHS targets state that 93 per cent of cases should be seen within a fortnight, so that tests and treatment can be started.
But analysis reveals this target was missed for the whole quarter ending June 2018, with the worst performance since records began in 2008.
How about that GREAT government-provided health care system in Britain? Don’t you wish we had such a system in the U.S.?
Feel the Bern….
