possible calculation discrepancy in wl_stats? #80

Closed ThomUK closed 2 weeks ago

ThomUK commented 3 months ago

The wl_stats function defines pressure manually as: "pressure" = mean_wait * 4 / target_wait

The calc_waiting_list_pressure function defines it as: wait_pressure <- 2 * mean_wait / target_wait

We need to find which is right, and ideally use the calc_waiting_list_pressure function within the wl_stats function.

This should be 2* it is corrected in the code and is called via the calc_waiting_list_pressure function. This will be updated with the Priorities branch
