Dr. Lorraine Doherty:

The target calls for 90% of women to be seen within four weeks of referral. The data show that the majority of centres achieve numbers like 100% or 86%. There is a reasonably good rate of achievement of that target. The percentage seen after 12 weeks is much higher. In terms of performance, the service is sustaining quite intense pressure but nevertheless seems to be coping reasonably well for now.
