Postural Tachycardia Syndrome: Waiting Lists

Asked by Alex BrewerLiberal DemocratDepartment of Health and Social CareTabled Answered 15 June 2026UIN 6596

The question

To ask the Secretary of State for Health and Social Care, what the average waiting time is for patients referred to specialist Postural Orthostatic Tachycardia Syndrome services.

Answered by Karin Smyth

NHS England does not routinely collect or publish condition‑specific waiting time data for postural orthostatic tachycardia syndrome (PoTS).

Patients with suspected or confirmed PoTS are typically referred into broader secondary care services, such as cardiology, neurology, and general medicine, and waiting times are therefore recorded and managed at specialty level rather than by individual condition.
