Number of outpatients seen within 13 weeks of GP written referral divided by the total number of outpatients seen following GP written referral, expressed as a percentage.
Rationale
The NHS Plan sets out how, by the end of 2005, the maximum waiting time for a first outpatient appointment will be cut to three months - urgent cases will continue to be treated much faster in accordance with clinical need. This indicator shows how well NHS Trusts are progressing towards achieving this target.
