Choose and Book and the Healthcare Commission's action plan.
The best and worst performing StHAs have given updates at their board meetings on progress towards the March target for 90% of outpatient referrals to be made through Choose and Book. NHS East of England, the country's worst performing StHA, revealed that it had booked just 20% of November outpatient appointments using CaB - significantly less than that month's planned trajectory of 70%. Meanwhile NHS North East, the country's best performer booked 39.5% of outpatient appointments with the system. It admitted its performance report that 'progress continues to be slow' and warned there was a 'medium risk' it will not meet the target.
