The headline measures for NHS waiting lists are based on patient pathways, with some patients having multiple pathways open simultaneously.
Estimates for the number of individual patients on NHS Referral to Treatment (RTT) waiting lists have been available since June 2022 and are available in the NHS activity and performance summaries published every month.
