In a previous article, in the September 2010 edition of Health Estate Journal, "Is multi-million pound backlog a reality", independent consultant to the healthcare sector, Dr Melvyn Langford, highlighted what he claimed was a "fundamental flaw" in the way the established NHS "5 x 5 criticality grid" used to assess the urgency of backlog maintenance had been interpreted for many years by estates personnel, resulting, he said, in one Trust with a reported 12 million pounds sterling backlog in fact only having a 0.5 m pound sterling "backlog issue". Here he describes an alternative methodology, recently successfully tested with several pilot NHS sites, which he says corrects this flaw, and could have "major implications" for estates and facilities personnel under unprecedented pressure to cut costs.
在之前发表于2010年9月《健康地产杂志》的一篇文章《数百万英镑的积压是现实吗》中，医疗保健行业独立顾问梅尔文·兰福德博士强调，他所称的既定国民医疗服务体系（NHS）“5×5关键度网格”在多年来被地产人员解读以评估积压维护紧迫性的方式中存在“根本缺陷”，他说这导致一个据报有1200万英镑积压的信托机构实际上只有50万英镑的“积压问题”。在此，他描述了一种替代方法，该方法最近在几个国民医疗服务体系试点机构成功进行了测试，他表示这种方法纠正了这一缺陷，并且对于面临前所未有的削减成本压力的地产和设施人员可能会有“重大影响”。
