Waiting list information by hospital, specialty and the length of time patients are waiting is published monthly by the National Treatment Purchase Fund (NTPF) on its website:

The information is now being made available through an interactive visual tool which provides users with a much-improved way of accessing and analysing waiting list information.

The information on Outpatient waiting lists published by the NTPF includes patients who are waiting for a first hospital outpatient consultation only. Follow up and review appointments are determined by the clinician after the initial consultation and are scheduled based on the consultant's assessment of the individual patient's requirements.
