Waits by NHS area
Some NHS areas have a separate reported wait because they cap Right to Choose or have a local contract. In other areas, Xyla Services's usual wait applies.

How the provider's usual waits have changed
Provider-wide reported waits, not separate figures for NHS areas. Newest first. Each bar runs from a date to where the wait reported then would reach on the calendar.
One row per month for the last 12 months, then one per quarter. A gold bracket shows the lowest and highest figure within that month or quarter. Paler rows are older snapshots from our previous website: changes between them may be missing.
