Exeter was missing government waiting times
January 26, 2020 - The Royal Devon and Exeter Hospital (RD&E) missed the Government’s accident and emergency waiting time target at the end of 2019, a meeting heard.
Figures revealed that all of Devon’s health hubs felt short of Whitehall’s aim for 95 per cent of patients being seen within four hours of arriving.
From October to December, 81.5 per cent of people were seen within the timeframe at the RD&E.
The figure was 84.6 per cent in North Devon and 79.3 per cent in Torbay.
Councillor Claire Wright, who represented the Otter Valley ward at the time, had asked for accident and emergency waiting times to be discussed at Thursday’s Devon County Council’s (DCC) Health and Adult Care Scrutiny Committee.
