THE trust which runs the Alexandra Hospital has shown ''reporting errors'' in its waiting lists, a report has revealed.
Worcestershire Acute Hospitals NHS Trust showed evidence of reporting errors in the percentage of patients waiting less than six months and more than a year for admission, the Audit Commission said.
''System weaknesses'' were also found in the percentage of outpatients reported to have been seen within 13 weeks and 26 weeks of GP referral.
There was no suggestion of deliberate manipulation of waiting lists but the trust has admitted it needs to update its computer systems.
The trust was also highlighted as an example of good practice when it came to urgent cancer referrals.
