answer text <p>This government is committed to putting patients first. This means making sure that patients are seen on time and have the best possible experience during their care, no matter where they are treated in the UK. Whilst health is a devolved issue, we intend to work closely with partners across the devolved governments in providing support and sharing best practice to reduce waiting lists and fix the NHS, including the configuration of appointment systems and policies relating to reducing Did Not Attends (DNAs).</p><p>Together we aim to deliver faster, improved and more equitable health outcomes for all patients across the UK, and strengthen our collaboration in achieving these common goals.</p> more like this

answer text <p>Reducing elective waiting lists is a key part of getting the National Health Service back on its feet. Delivering 40,000 more NHS appointments per week is part of our commitment to get back to NHS standards, so that people can expect to wait no longer than 18 weeks for treatment.

answer text <p>Cutting waiting lists for elective care is one of this Prime Minister’s top priorities. The Delivery Plan for Tackling the COVID-19 Backlog of Elective Care outlines how the National Health Service will bring down waiting times across all elective services. To support this plan and tackle waiting lists the Government plans to spend more than £8 billion from 2022/23 to 2024/25 to drive up and protect elective activity. We are making good progress on tackling the longest waits, to ensure patients get the care they need when they need it.</p><p> </p><p>In July 2022, the NHS successfully met the first target in our plan to virtually eliminate waits of over two years, excluding patients waiting by choice or due to complex specialties. The NHS then worked hard to deliver the next ambition to eliminate waits of 18 months or more. Thanks to the incredible work of NHS staff, NHS England's official statistics show that as of March 2024, we have virtually eliminated waits of over 18 months.</p><p> </p><p>Referral to Treatment (RTT) waiting times data is published monthly by NHS England:</p><p>https://www.england.nhs.uk/statistics/statistical-work-areas/rtt-waiting-times/</p><p> </p>

answer text <p>The Government is committed to making the best possible progress against the ambitions set out in the Elective Recovery Plan (ERP), despite a range of constraints that have impacted on delivery. These constraints have included, but were not limited to, higher than expected COVID-19 and non-COVID-19 related bed occupancy, and periods of disruptive industrial action.</p><p>The Government regularly reviews progress against the ambitions in the ERP, including affordability, and the impact of the constraints listed above. The Government is planning to spend more than £8 billion from 2022/23 to 2024/25, to help drive up and protect elective activity.</p><p>This is supported by NHS England’s planning guidance, which in 2023/24 set an initial elective recovery target of 107%, delivered through a payment-by-result mechanism. To reflect the impact of industrial action, the Government and NHS England agreed to revise the elective activity target to 103% for the remainder of 2023/24, and in November 2023 provided an additional £800 million of funding from a combination of reprioritised and new funding, to mitigate the costs of industrial action. Planning guidance for 2024/25 will set out the ambitions for 2024/25, and will be published shortly.</p>

answer text <p>Most community activity is non-consultant led and therefore reported outside of the Referral to Treatment (RTT) dataset. There were inconsistencies in the previous reporting of consultant-led community services, so to improve consistency and accuracy of reporting across community services, the referral-to-treatment guidance has been updated to clarify the reporting expectations for consultant-led community data.</p><p>This change allows for consolidated reporting of consultant-led and non-consultant-led community services data within published community datasets. The aim is to encourage more consistent and accurate reporting across elective pathways, enabling better insights into community services and activity across the country. Patient rights to treatment within 18 weeks for consultant led services will not change under this proposal and long waits will still be visible within the published statistics; they will simply appear in the community data and not RTT.</p> more like this
