Question to the Department of Health and Social Care:

To ask Her Majesty's Government what plans they have to reduce the waiting lists for gynaecology services.

Gynaecology services will be included within the recovery of elective care. This will be funded by £2 billion this year and an additional £8 billion over the next three years, which could deliver the equivalent of approximately nine million more checks, scans and procedures. The delivery plan for tackling the elective care backlog will be published later this year.
