18 weeks referral to treatment waiting times

As part of our ongoing work to ensure our suite of statistical publications meets user needs, we have decided to pause the 18 weeks RTT national data collection, analysis and publication. This is the last planned publication for now. This is to create capacity to meet demands in other priority areas, including activity relating to 8 key diagnostic tests in the Scottish Government's commitment to treat 150,000 more patients in the 2025/26 financial year. Statistics relating to Stage of Treatment and 8 key diagnostic test waiting times targets in Scotland will continue to be published as normal. If you have any question or concerns, please contact us at phs.waitingtimes@phs.scot.
