Method & source
These are the waits for patients admitted for treatment (the admitted completed RTT pathway). Ranked fastest first by median wait for the plastic surgery pathway (NHS treatment function C_160), NHS England Referral to Treatment (RTT), July 2026. The typical wait is the median: half of patients waited less, half waited longer. Trusts with fewer than 30 patients on the pathway are excluded from the ranking (13 excluded this month), too few to rank one hospital against another reliably. 53 trusts are ranked. A longer wait does not mean worse care: it can reflect a more complex caseload or a regional specialist centre.
