Question
To ask the Scottish Government whether referral to treatment waiting times for NHS Lothian are publicly available; if not, when they will be available, and what the reasons are for its position on this matter.
Answer
NHS Lothian’s Referral to Treatment data is not currently available for the period July to December 2020 due to significant pressure on the local information and intelligence resources in light of the current COVID19 pressure. This information will be published at a later date. The Scottish Government remains deeply grateful for the hard work, commitment and professionalism of all NHS staff at this time of unprecedented challenge.
