Elective care: how has COVID-19 affected the waiting list?

Elective care: how has COVID-19 affected the waiting list? This analysis looks at what we know about the waiting list for elective care in England.

While the NHS delivered a remarkable amount of elective treatment during the pandemic, the pressure of caring for large numbers of patients seriously unwell with COVID-19 has led to the waiting list for elective care reaching the highest level since current records began.

Data show that 6 million fewer people completed elective care pathways between January 2020 and July 2021 than would have been expected based on pre-pandemic numbers. The Health Foundation
