  • If you are interested in England level or regional waiting times please use the “Commissioner Data” files.
  • If you are interested in waiting times at provider trusts then please use the “Provider Data” files.

  • Incomplete pathways are waiting times for patients waiting to start treatment at the end of the month.
  • Admitted pathways are waiting times (time waited) for patients whose treatment started during the month and involved admission to hospital (until September 2015 adjustments were made to admitted pathways for clock pauses, where a patient had declined reasonable offers of admission and chose to wait longer).
  • Non-admitted pathways are waiting times (time waited) for patients whose treatment started during the month and did not involve admission to hospital.
  • Incomplete pathways with a decision to admit for treatment are waiting times for patients waiting to start treatment at the end of the month where a clinical decision to admit to a hospital bed for treatment has been made.
  • New RTT periods are the number of new RTT pathways where the clock start date is within the reporting month.

Revisions are published periodically (usually every six months) in line with NHS England Analytical Service team’s revisions policy. Referral to treatment data for October 2021 to September 2022 was revised on 9th March 2023.

England-level time series

Additional work was carried out with some providers following submission of data for March 2023 to validate their figures for 78-week waits. The figures submitted by some independent sector providers were found to be incorrect. There was insufficient time to arrange full resubmission. The corrected totals have been used in the statistical press notice, timeseries file and supplementary information file. The full data tables for incomplete pathways use the original submissions, but an explanatory note has been added to the National table in the Incomplete Commissioner file.
