People whose wait ended this month

  • 241 admitted for treatment, after a typical wait of 36 weeks
  • 510 treated or discharged without admission, after 12 weeks

The clock starts when the hospital receives the referral and stops when treatment starts or the patient is discharged. People still waiting have not finished their wait, so their final wait will be longer than shown.

Independent providers treat NHS-funded patients for a narrower range of conditions, so waits are not directly comparable with a hospital trust.
