Hospitals are NOT fiddling figures, Jeremy Hunt insists after damning report into waiting list times Health Secretary Jeremy Hunt today denied hospitals were deliberately fiddling figures to meet waiting list targets. A damning report today warned NHS staff are wrongly recording patients’ waiting times.

On average, staff had shaved off nearly six weeks from patients’ true waiting times when typing up the figures. dailymail.co.uk/news/article-2544277/NHS-fiddles-1-5-waiting-times-Average-six-weeks-shaved-says-official-study.html#ixzz2rDIEpmxI
