NHS performance Tracker The average (median) waiting time for planned care was over 14 weeks in March 2023. This is almost double the average waiting time before the pandemic, which was 7 ½ weeks in February 2020.
The total size of the waiting list for planned care increased slightly to 7.33 million in March 2023. This is the highest since records began.
A&E waiting times improved slightly in April 2023, with 1 in 4 people spending more than four hours from arrival to admission, transfer or discharge. But this is still far from reaching the standard of only 5% of people waiting this long.
