Frequently Asked Questions

Where does this data come from?
The NHS waiting time data comes from two official NHS England sources: the Community Health Services (CHS) Monthly Situation Report for community services like physiotherapy, podiatry, and dietetics; and the Referral to Treatment (RTT) waiting times data for hospital specialties like cardiology, ophthalmology, and dermatology. Both datasets track waiting lists across all Integrated Care Boards (ICBs) in England and are published under the Open Government Licence v3.0.
How often is the data updated?
NHS England publishes both datasets monthly. We check for new releases daily and update our data as soon as new figures become available. The reporting period is shown alongside the results so you know exactly how current the data is.
Is the waiting time estimate accurate for me?
The figures shown are based on published NHS data for your local Integrated Care Board area and represent the overall picture of waiting times. Your individual waiting time may vary depending on your specific condition, referral pathway, and local capacity. The data provides a general indication rather than a personalised estimate.
