Many of you may not have seen the HoC debate yesterday on the Francis report 1 year on.  If your interested the transcript can be found here

I am still working through the transcript but I would like to pick up on something Jeremy Hunt stated:




Statistics from NHS England show that in fact, even with the 'relaxation' of the target to 5% in 2010 (Ahem); this government has presided over the worst increase in A&E patients waiting more than four hours since the 4 hour target was introduced. By Quarter 4 2012/13, the figures had risen to 9%; in Quarter 3 2013/14 the level was 6.5%.
When Andy Burnham was SOS, the number of patients who waited four hours or more was only 2% .


Mr Hunt should be called back to the House to correct the record.
