A Sefton councillor said “widespread” chaos in the NHS was at risk of being “swept under the carpet” by changes to targets around waiting times.
Vice chair of the borough’s adult social care and health scrutiny committee, Cllr Greg Myers, made the remarks during a discussion about NHS challenges in Sefton during a meeting held at Bootle Town Hall last night.
According to a report presented by Sefton Place director of strategic partnerships Steven Williams, among the “challenging circumstances” being faced by the NHS nationally and locally is a significant rise in demand for services.
