Waits by specialty
Each band runs from the point where half of the people treated in August 2026 had waited, to the point where 9 in 10 had waited. Figures cover whole specialties, not single operations. Where fewer than 20 people were waiting or fewer than 20 were treated, we show nothing for that specialty.
