National Health Service trusts that are not currently submitting referral to treatment data are required to regularly update NHS England and NHS Improvement on their plans to return to regular reporting.

Based on the latest information and intelligence received; Barts Health NHS Trust expect to return to reporting within the current financial year and Gloucestershire Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust expect to commence national reporting from December 2017 onwards. St George's University Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust is currently undertaking a significant exercise in preparation for commencing reporting. Once concluded, a timeline for submission of referral to treatment pathways will be presented.
