Cracks are "beginning to appear" in the performance of the NHS in England, according to a leading think tank.
The King's Fund review - dubbed a mid-term report for the coalition government - raised concern about A&E waits and finances.
But it said overall performance was holding up well.
The think tank analysed published data on performance, including waiting times, patient surveys and safety reports.
It found that on many measures performance was being maintained and in areas such as reducing the use of mixed-sex accommodation and infection control standards were improving.
But it warned there were "treacherous waters ahead".
