The information is not collected in the format requested. Consultant-led referral to treatment waiting times are collected separately for 18 high volume treatment functions (divisions of clinical work based on main specialty), but not for individual procedures such as hip or knee replacements or cataract operations. Such information as is available is shown in the table attached.
