A count of finished admission episodes with a main operative procedure of hip replacement and knee replacement with treatment waiting times of over 18 weeks and 52 weeks in 2018-19 by National Health Service hospital trust is attached. This is a count of admissions, not patients as the same patient may have had more than one admission within the same time period.
