Question
Will the Cabinet Secretary provide an update on the number of children under 18 waiting for NHS treatment?
Answer
Answered by Cabinet Secretary for Health and Social Care
Statistics for patients under age 18 on referral to treatment (RTT) waiting lists are published on StatsWales here:
NHS waiting lists: referral to treatment pathways waiting to start treatment, August 2024 onwards | StatsWales
The number of patient pathways is not the same as the number of individual patients, because some people have multiple open pathways. Figures for the number of individual patients under 18 on NHS waiting lists are not available.
