NHS delivers on elective recovery plan with progress on treatment and tests
The number of patients waiting for tests and checks has fallen for the third month in a row – and is at the lowest level since the NHS launched its elective recovery plan, the biggest, most ambitious catch up programme in health history.
New figures today show that there were 1,521,711 patients waiting for diagnostic tests in July, fewer than the same figures for May and June and the lowest number since February when the plan was published (1,507,483).
Figures also show the busiest summer ever for ambulance staff dealing with the most serious callouts – between June and August, paramedics dealt with more than 237,000 category one incidents, up a third on pre-pandemic levels (177,190 in 2019).
Further progress has been made on the longest waits with the number of people waiting more than 18 months down by almost a third compared to January at 51,838.
