Patient waiting times latest, UK

The number of patients, for whom English commissioners are responsible, waiting over 9 months at the end of March 2005 was 41. Of these 41, 6 were English residents waiting in Welsh hospitals.

At the end of March, of the 41 waiting over 9 months, 24 patients for whom English commissioners are responsible were waiting over 12 months.

The number of patients, for whom English commissioners are responsible, waiting over 6 months at the end of March 2005 was 40,800, a decrease of 19,600 (32.5%) from February, and a fall of 39,300 (49.1%) from March 2004.

Waiting lists

The total number of patients waiting to be admitted to NHS hospitals in England at the end of March 2005 was 821,700; a fall of 23,500 (2.8%) since the end of February 2005, and 84,100 (9.3%) since March 2004.

Statistical Notes

1. Inpatient waiting lists

Waiting list information is collected from English Primary Care Trusts on a responsible population basis (see note on next page) and from NHS Trusts on a hospital basis.

In interpreting the figures it should be noted that about half of patients (not including live babies) treated in hospitals are emergency cases and do not come from the waiting lists.

This publication contains waiting list information on patients who are waiting to be admitted for treatment either as a day case or ordinary admission. It does not include:

- patients admitted as emergency cases

- outpatients

- patients undergoing a planned programme of treatment e.g. a series of admissions for chemotherapy

- expectant mothers booked for confinement

- patients already in hospital but included on other waiting lists

- patients who are temporarily suspended from waiting lists for social reasons or because they are known to be not medically ready for treatment

Waiting times begin from the date the clinician decided to admit the patient. Patients subsequently offered a date but unable to attend have their waiting times calculated from the most recent date offered. These are known as self-deferred cases and are included in the total waiting.

The tables include an element of estimation and incorporate all returns and amendments received from Primary Care Trusts and NHS Trusts up to 10th May 2005.

2. Hospital and Commissioner based lists

There are fundamental differences in coverage between commissioner based and hospital based information. Commissioner based returns exclude all patients living outside England and all privately funded patients waiting for treatment in NHS hospitals. However they do include NHS funded patients, living in England, who are waiting for treatment in Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland, abroad, and at private hospitals; these patients are not included in the corresponding hospital based returns. Historically there has been a 1% to 3% difference in the overall size of the waiting lists reported for NHS hospital trusts and English residents, the trust-based figure being the larger.

The differences are summarised in the diagram which can be accessed via the link below.

Commissioner based returns reflect responsible based populations, which is defined as:

Responsible Population:

- all those patients resident within the PCT boundary; plus

- all patients registered with GPs who are members of the PCT, but are resident in another PCT; minus

- All patients resident in the PCT, but registered with a GP who is a member of another PCT

3. Revisions

Revisions to previous months data are made in line with the Department of Health's revisions protocol for performance monitoring data. A copy of the protocol is attached at Annex A.

This month, the Department is revising figures for the whole of 2004/05 to reflect amendments supplied after publication. Details of these revisions can be found in the Statistical Supplement to the Chief Executive's Report to the NHS, published on Friday 13 May 2005.
