Island will follow UK move
The Department of Health and Social Care on the Island will introduce a referral to treatment target of 18 weeks within the next five years.
The news was confirmed in the Keys this morning (Tues 23) by Health Minister David Ashford, in reply to a question from Ramsey MHK Lawrie Hooper.
