Imaging performance
We track collective performance from all the imaging services in the peninsula and present it here several times a year.
June 2024 update
The selected data above is for all four PenRAD trusts in the year to date (end June 2024).
The activity/demand data illustrates that our activity has increased, despite a further 5% increase in demand. Performance has marginally improved, as shown in the performance data for outpatient work.

42.94% | 46.24% | +3.3% |
| Routine (14-day target) |

Reporting times are monitored for adherence to NHS England's diagnostic imaging reporting turnaround times released in August 2023. It is expected that these targets may be shortened in the near future, hence we apply a routine target of two rather than four weeks.
Whilst our workforce has increased all trusts continue to experience high locum/agency/overtime spends.
