Answered by Karin Smyth
No recent estimate of waiting times for orthopaedic footwear through National Health Service Surgical Appliances Departments has been made.
Integrated care boards (ICBs) are responsible for commissioning the majority of health and care services, including podiatry services, in England. ICBs arrange healthcare services to meet the needs of their local population within the available resources, and to reduce inequalities in access to, and outcomes from, healthcare services.
