While the details are not as yet clear, it *does* seem that Labour's strategy for helping ease the crisis in the NHS will involve halving the number of targets the NHS is required to work to from 32 to 16... definitely a move in the right direction, although a lot will depend on which targets are retained, and how they are expected to be met... but still likely good news

It might give management more time to manipulate the performance indicators to give the appearance of improvement.

@ChrisMayLA6 yes. I've long thought that the first step towards failure is setting targets for success. Cynical? Perhaps, but maybe the best target is 'do the very best you can'.
