About this figure

It’s about six weeks behind. NHS England publishes monthly, with a lag. This page shows June 2026.
It’s a trust-level average, not your wait. Your own wait depends on urgency, clinical need and which site you are treated at. Large trusts run several hospitals.
It counts people still waiting (incomplete pathways at month end), not people already treated.

This page presents official statistics and points to a right you already have. It isn’t medical advice, and it can’t tell you whether switching is right for you. Your clinician can.
