Notes:
1. Median waiting times are calculated from aggregate data, rather than patient level data, and therefore are only estimates of the position on average waits.
2. Median waiting times are not calculated for organisations (and treatment functions) with less than 50 pathways in the month.
3. The following trusts did not submit any RTT incomplete pathway data for February 2014:
– Barnet and Chase Farm Hospitals NHS Trust;
– Barking, Havering & Redbridge NHS Trust;
– Derby Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust;
– Tameside Hospital NHS Foundation Trust;
– The Whittington Hospital NHS Trust; and
– Ipswich Hospital NHS Trust.
