The Labour government’s most prominent commitment on health is to get waiting times back to 18 weeks by the end of the Parliament. Are they on track? We looked at this for last night’s Peston show youtu.be/yc-9Psk3gk8?... 🧵

Last week govt published its elective care plan, pledging to get waiting times back down to 18 weeks. Given the waiting list is 7.4m and was 3.5m when 18w was last met (15/16), and 40% of patients are currently waiting more than 18 weeks, how achievable is this? 🧵 on our new analysis. 1/12

The government's elective care recovery plan will incentivise improvements in waiting times by giving extra capital to the fastest improvers. Some initial thoughts based on another, recent NHS capital for performance scheme.
