Respiratory Diseases: The Wrekin
- Question
-
To ask the Secretary of State for Health and Social Care, what steps she is taking to help increase the proportion of patients that receive treatment within 18 weeks of referral for a respiratory condition in The Wrekin constituency.
- Answer
-
Tackling waiting lists is a key part of our Health Mission and a top priority for the Government, including waits for respiratory conditions. We are committed to achieving the NHS Constitutional standard that 92% of patients should wait no longer than 18 weeks from Referral to Treatment.
Funding announced in the Autumn Budget 2024 will support the delivery of an additional two million operations, scans, and appointments during the Government’s first year as a First Step in our commitment to ensuring patients can expect to be treated within 18 weeks. Further details regarding the additional appointments will be confirmed in due course.
