The Minister of health notes at the end of the four-hour A&E target

out of the question Campbell asked Nicky about the goals missed, Mr Hancock admitted that there are great challenges in the NHS, to wait when it came time, with the argument that it should be treated because of a rising number of people in accident and emergency units.

He said the government was putting an extra £33. To help 9bn in the service -

he Asked if the four-hours-would remain a target, he replied: "We will be judged on how The Right targets. Goals clinically appropriate. "

Mr Hancock said it was a "problem" with the four-hour target as "The Top measure what is going on in hospitals".

"For example, [],, increasingly, people can be treated on The Day and be able to Go Home [without accommodation].

"This is much better for the patient, it is also better for the NHS and the way that counted. does not work. "

The Health Secretary, said it was "much better, have goals, are clinically appropriate, supported by Doctors , so we have to consider clinicians", and added: "It is best if the led of The Doctors . "

Health Secretary to Matt Hancock says, the goals that he is, needs to be started to be judged "right"

The review is not completed by Mrs May, but an interim report of the Nhs England 's national medical Director, Prof Steve Powis, in March 2019.

He proposed three new goals: with the average waiting time as The Most important measure (instead of the 95% threshold); record how long patients wait before they are assessed clinically, after you arrive, and check how long the majority of critically ill patients wait before their treatment is completed.

Boris Johnson , the government is not obliged to recommendations.

'Move the goalposts,'

During Prime Minister 's Questions, Jeremy Corbyn , the issue of growing waiting times, call for "urgent action".

Boris Johnson said the Labour leader was facing "The Right signal delays people" and be "unacceptable."

he had, However, no reference to any changes in the goals, said: "We will be the ones to get the waiting lists down. "

Labour's Mr Ashworth said: "Any review of the targets must be transparent and based on water density of the clinical evidence, otherwise the patients will think, Matt Hancock tries to move the goalposts in order to avoid the control of the government.

"After years of austerity under the Tories, the government's first priority must be that the NHS, the funding and the staff it takes to the end of the waiting time of Crisis . "
