NHS performance data 'likely to be delayed until after election'

[Northerner]

It is likely that publication of key financial performance data from the NHS in England will be delayed until after the election, the BBC understands.

Regulator NHS Improvement is understood to want to publish data on the scale of hospital deficits but has been advised against it by parts of the government.

The British Medical Association said the government was "running scared" by delaying the release of the figures.

The Department of Health and the Conservative Party did not comment.

So obvious that they might have well just published the figures rather than attempting to hide them

Oh dear Oh dear - one does hope there won't be a leak. Not.

Trump politics coming to Britain. Absolutely obvious naked self interest. These figures need to be published so that other parties can make comments as to what they would do about it. They're obviously damning figiures.

The Administrators who compile them are still the only people in the NHS who get 'performance bonuses' though!
