These are described in The Handbook to The NHS Constitution which states patients have the right to start consultant-led treatment within a maximum of 18 weeks from referral for non-urgent conditions and a pledge that there should be a maximum four-hour wait in A&amp;E from arrival to admission, transfer or discharge.

	answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 16/07/2018 answer text <p>The Government’s Mandate to NHS England for 2018-19 is clear that it is to maintain and improve performance against core patient access standards including accident and emergency (A&amp;E), cancer and planned operations and care-Referral to Treatment (RTT).</p><p> </p><p>The Government expects the National Health Service to deliver the actions set out in the NHS Planning Guidance for 2018-19 – in full – as key steps towards fully recovering performance against core access standards. This means treating a quarter of a million more patients in A&amp;E, halving the number who have the longest waits for treatment and working towards reducing the number of patients waiting overall. We gave the NHS top priority in the 2017 budget with an additional £2.8 billion of funding for the NHS between 2017-18 and 2019-20, and this has been reflected in the mandate.</p><p> </p><p>To provide the NHS with financial stability, the longer-term plan, announced last month will see NHS funding increase by £20.5 billion per year by 2023/24, the end of the first five years compared with today.</p> answering member constituency North East Cambridgeshire answering member printed Stephen Barclay question first answered 16/07/2018 10:10:21 answering member 4095 label Biography information for Steve Barclay
