Choose and Book and the consultant led Referral to Treatment waiting times
Under the NHS Constitution, patients have the right to access services within maximum waiting times.
Consultant led referral to treatment waiting times are used to monitor NHS waiting times. The use of Choose and Book improves the NHS ability to track the progress of referrals.
An updated rules suite to support the consistent, continuing collection of referral to treatment data is available on the Department of Health website.
A collection of Frequently Asked questions (PDF 297Kb) on the measurement of consultant led Referral to Treatment waiting times in Choose and Book is also available.
