NHS Wales
Referral-to-treatment (RTT) waiting times for every health board in NHS Wales. Wales runs its NHS separately from England and Scotland — these figures come from StatsWales (Welsh Government) and are measured against a different standard (95% of pathways waiting less than 26 weeks), so they are shown on their own and never ranked against English or Scottish hospitals.
