Shropcom chief executive Patricia Davies highlighted the increase in waiting times due to the ‘level of demand’ on lower limb orthopaedic services.
The NHS Shropshire Community Health Trust has been set a national target of having nobody waiting over 65 weeks for referral to treatment by March 2024.
She added that the trust is ‘utilising support’ from the independent sector to provide additional radiology resources and ‘securing additional capacity’ to help reduce waiting times. She said that the trust continued to ‘experience challenges with performance of recovering services’ which had particularly been seen in services where patients require diagnostic investigations or orthopaedic consultant support.
“We are utilising support from the independent sector to provide additional radiology resources and increasing our clinical outpatient capacity to further support recovery.”
