Referral to Treatment (RTT) waiting times

Published by NHS England · Official source

Update schedule

  • Monthly. NHS England publishes each month's data around six weeks later, on the second Thursday.

Level of detail

  • NHS trust × specialty (treatment function)

What we show

  • Waiting-list size (incomplete pathways, known clock starts — the official headline basis)
  • % waiting 18 weeks or less (the NHS constitutional standard is 92%)
  • Median and 92nd-percentile waiting time, interpolated from weekly bands exactly as NHS England does
  • Patients waiting over 52, 65 and 78 weeks

Caveats

  • Published per trust — two hospitals in the same trust show the same figures, always labelled 'Trust-wide'.
  • Non-contracted activity (NONC) is excluded, matching NHS England's own provider workbooks. We verified our totals reproduce the official workbook exactly.
  • Independent-sector providers are not currently included.
