• 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 cases where patients are still waiting to start treatment at the end of the month.
  • Admitted pathways are waiting times for cases where patients completed their RTT pathway during the month with an inpatient/day case admission for treatment.  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 for cases where patients completed their RTT pathway during the month for reasons other than an inpatient/day case admission for treatment (e.g. started treatment in an outpatient setting or a non-treatment clock stop).
  • Incomplete pathways with a decision to admit for treatment are waiting times for cases where patients are still 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.
