The Referral to Treatment operational standards state that 90% admitted and 95% of non-admitted patients should start consultant-led treatment within 18 weeks of referral. In order to sustain delivery of these standards, 92% of patients who have not yet started treatment should have been waiting no more than 18 weeks. Whilst individual National Health Service organisations are monitored on their performance in this area, obstructive sleep apnoea is not separately identified.</p><p> </p> answering member constituency Battersea answering member printed Jane Ellison grouped question UIN 220687 220689 question first answered 21/01/2015 16:04:27 answering member 3918 label Biography information for Jane Ellison
