Request
Enquiry Subject: 18 week waiting time referral to treatment
Would you be able to issue me with a breakdown of trusts within your authority who have recently breached their 18 week waiting time referral to treatment target?
Our Response
I refer to your email requesting information in respect of 18 week waiting time referral to treatment.
I can confirm in accordance with S.1 (1) of the Freedom of Information Act 2000 (FOIA) that we do not hold the information that you have requested.
However, 18 weeks performance data is available publicly via the Department of Health website. For your ease of reference I have attached the relevant link:
http://www.dh.gov.uk/en/Publicationsandstatistics/Statistics/Performancedataandstatistics/ReferraltoTreatmentstatistics/index.htm
The data shows the percentage treated within 18 weeks so you can see what proportion were not treated within 18 weeks.
I hope that this information is of use. If you are dissatisfied with the way in which we have dealt with your request you can ask us to review our decision by writing to:-
