Oh dear, you don't actually believe the propaganda do you? 96% seen within 4 hours? The vast majority of trusts will fiddle this in any way they can just to strive for the meaningless 3 star rating, as so graphically illustrated on BBC's drama "Bodies" last night. They drag every hand in they can, waste money on expensive extra agency staff, cancel electives so there's no waiting for a bed, have senior managers maintaining a presence - all to meet the target on the week when the pre-arranged audit is due. After that, it all goes back to normal: people stacking up in corridors on trollies etc. A recent BMA study exposed these shifty practices.
