Forecasting the NHS waiting list for elective procedures in England in 2022-2030

Description

This is an independent report on NHS waiting lists for elective procedures in England. It is the first analysis to focus specifically on procedures rather than the overall waiting list which includes outpatients and medical treatments. We report that in addition to the 1 million people waiting for elective procedures on the NHS waiting list in England, there are also 3.3 million people on the 'hidden' waiting list. We have presented specialty-level breakdowns and have identified 20 key procedures that represent 70% of the waiting list. We project waiting lists through to 2030.
