Methods clearly demonstrated that the likelihood of failing to reach the target exponentially increases with minimal increase in patient attendees. 1. All elements progressing to plan with possible exception of Paediatric Ambulatory Activity 1. Increase activity through AEC & direct activity to 7

8 and medical directorates for 200/Day as the Trajectory for 2017/18 3. Reduce time patients who require admission assessment spend in majors 4.
