The government has already delivered on a commitment to publish demographic data, as part of the waiting list minimum data set (WLMDS). This means for the first time we publish the number of waits where the patient is under 18, and how many of these are waiting below 18 weeks and over a year for consultant-led treatment. There are currently no plans to disaggregate this data further at a national level. Publishing that level of granularity is restricted by statistical disclosure rules if numbers are very low. This is particularly true at provider level. However, providers already collect and have access to this data at a local level, and have a responsibility to ensure they are using it to target the waiting list accordingly, and to enable appropriate care and positive outcomes for patients of all ages. In the longer term, it may be possible to include more granular WLMDS data publication nationally through the NHS Referral-to-treatment (RTT) dashboard, with the appropriate disclosure control applied through that data processing. However, its prioritisation will need to be balanced with ongoing resource constraints.
