Question to the Department of Health and Social Care:
To ask the Secretary of State for Health and Social Care, what steps her Department is taking to reduce elective treatment waiting times for patients served by Nottingham University Hospitals NHS Trust; and what progress she has made in reducing the number of patients waiting more than 18 weeks for treatment since July 2024.
Further to the answer provided on 12 October in response to Question 30063, I can confirm that – as of August 2026 – there were 86,339 pathways on the Nottingham University Hospitals NHS Trust’s waiting list, with 62.1% of patients waiting less than 18 weeks for treatment, compared to 61.8% in August 2025.
