Maidstone and Tunbridge Wells NHS Trust: Waiting Lists

Asked by Tristan OsborneLabourDepartment of Health and Social CareTabled Answered 9 June 2026UIN 6298

The question

To ask the Secretary of State for Health and Social Care, what data his Department holds on the number of patients waiting to start treatment with Maidstone and Tunbridge Wells NHS Trust in (a) July 2024 and (b) May 2026.

Answered by Karin Smyth

Provider level consultant-led referral to treatment waiting times data is published on the NHS England website at the following link:

https://www.england.nhs.uk/statistics/statistical-work-areas/rtt-waiting-times/

Data is published approximately six weeks after the end of the referenced month.

The number of incomplete pathways is not the same as the number of patients waiting, as an individual patient may be on multiple pathways.
