BARNSLEY Hospital is seeing an improvement in A and E waiting times following a bad start to the new financial year.
All hospitals are required to see 95 per cent of patients in A and E within four hours, but like many hospitals, Barnsley Hospital missed the target last year.
It has now been set quarterly targets, and is part way through the first. It must achieve 92 per cent by June.
If it doesn’t, it could lose out on vital money from the Department of Health.
We have been at the heart of our community, every week, since 1858. The town and its people have changed dramatically since then but the Chronicle has been a constant.
It’s our belief that news should be available to everyone regardless of their circumstance. But we need a little helping hand to do so.
Production Editor, Ashley Ball, said: "In an ever changing media world, it’s important that news is reported correctly and without any hidden agenda.
Your support allows us to keep holding decision-makers to account and report on everything that happens in the town, good or bad, fairly."
