About these figures
These count patients on a consultant-led Referral to Treatment (RTT) pathway who were still waiting to start treatment at the end of the month. They are not the time a new patient should expect to wait, and they say nothing about urgent or cancer care, which is reported separately. Waiting times at a trust can differ greatly between specialties. Docorix shows the figures as published; it does not rank providers.
