<p>The ‘Delivery plan for tackling the COVID-19 backlog of elective care’ sets out
how the National Health Service will recover and expand elective services over the
next three years, including in gynaecological services. We have allocated more than
£8 billion from 2022/23 to 2024/25, in addition to the £2 billion Elective Recovery
Fund and £700 million Targeted Investment Fund already made available in 2021/2022
to increase elective activity. This funding aims to deliver the equivalent of approximately
nine million additional checks and procedures and 30% further elective activity by
2024/25 than pre-pandemic levels. A proportion of this funding will be invested in
workforce capacity and training and we have committed to invest £5.9 billion for new
beds, equipment and technology.</p><p> </p><p>Community diagnostic centres and surgical
hubs will deliver additional activity, including gynaecological services. The Getting
it Right First Time high-volume low-complexity programme aims to accelerate access
to care and reduce waiting times, including endometriosis related surgery.</p>
