Red: worse than England. Amber: better than England, but misses the national standard. Green: better than England and meets the standard. Black: about the same as England. The standard is that no more than 1% wait six weeks or more.
Each figure is compared with England for the same test. Tests with fewer than 50 people waiting are left out. The longest waits are at the top.
What isn't published
These figures stop on the day of the test. Nothing is published about how long people then wait for the results, or how often a test is cancelled and rebooked.
Find your specialty and log a wait
When you log a hospital wait you can choose "Test or scan" or "Test or scan results", and say how often it was cancelled.
