Diagnostic waiting times (DM01)
Published by NHS England · Official source
Update schedule
- Monthly.
Level of detail
- NHS trust (provider)
What we show
- The share of patients waiting more than 6 weeks for a diagnostic test (the operational standard is under 1%)
- Figures for 15 key test types — including MRI, CT, ultrasound, echocardiography and endoscopy — plus an all-tests total
- The size of the diagnostic waiting list
Caveats
- Reported per trust — the same figures apply to every hospital the trust runs, always labelled 'Trust-wide'.
- We show the all-tests headline and the individual tests with the longest waits.
- Test types with very few patients waiting are not shown in the per-test breakdown.
