Providers with a waiting list of at least 100 pathways for the chosen specialty. Includes independent-sector providers treating NHS patients. Click a row to drill into that provider. Median waits are for the incomplete waiting list — the wait so far of patients still waiting, not the final treatment wait.
The waiting list counts incomplete consultant-led pathways at each month end, split by wait so far. The NHS constitutional standard is 92% of the waiting list within 18 weeks.

Treatment functions as reported in the RTT collection; “Other” groups cover services without a dedicated code (including paediatrics and mental health).
New RTT periods are clock starts (referrals entering the pathway); completed pathways are admitted plus non-admitted treatment starts. Months-to-clear divides the waiting list by the trailing 3-month average of completed pathways — a size-of-backlog indicator, not a forecast: it assumes no new referrals and unchanged capacity.
Source: NHS England, Consultant-led Referral to Treatment Waiting Times (monthly, provider level, published ~6 weeks in arrears). Waits are shown in weeks from referral. Figures for aggregated views (England, ICB) sum provider counts; aggregated medians are list-size-weighted medians of provider medians. Data on this page is for the consultant-led pathway only — community and diagnostic waits are not included.
