Coeliac Disease: Endoscopy

Question

To ask the Secretary of State for Health and Social Care, if he will take steps to develop coeliac endoscopy NHS waiting lists.

Answer

Whilst patients on coeliac endoscopy pathways will be recorded, there are currently no plans to publish specialty level data for coeliac endoscopy National Health Service waiting lists.

NHS England collects and publishes monthly referral to treatment (RTT) data which is used to monitor NHS waiting times performance against the standards set out in the National Health Service Commissioning Board and Clinical Commissioning Groups (Responsibilities and Standing Rules) Regulations 2012.

RTT data currently includes waiting list data for 23 treatment pathway categories, where one of these is gastroenterology.
