longest receive treatment as soon as possible.</li><li>We met our target to virtually

the conditions set out in the elective recovery plan. We have now moved our focus
to cutting waits of 65 weeks or more to as near zero as possible, by March 2024.</li><li>The
government has allocated an additional £8 billion revenue funding and £5.9bn investment
in NHS capital from 2022-25 to tackle the elective backlog and provide new beds, equipment,
and technology.</li></ul><p> </p>
