The Scotsman and the Mail are making much of a Royal Colleges report into waiting time lists for under-18s being more than 100% longer, more than twice as long. I can’t find directly comparable data for England but I can find it for all age groups and it’s large hard-boiled sweet-stopping.
From NHS England Consultant-led Referral to Treatment Waiting Times Data for all age groups:
In October 2012, 156 461 waited longer than 18 weeks.
In September 2023, 3 222 357 waited longer than 18 weeks, 21 times as long.
From Public Health Scotland 18 weeks referral to Treatment (RTT) for all age groups:
In October 2012, 10 295 waited longer than 18 weeks.
In September 2023, 25 963 waited longer, 2.5 times as long.
And, with 10 times the population, England might have been expected to have 260 000 (10 times Scotland’s 25 963) waiting more than 18 weeks, but has more than 3 million, 12 times more pro rata!
