The longest lists in June 2026
- … 47 trusts between
- out of 148 NHS trusts reporting incomplete pathways
Incomplete referral-to-treatment pathways at the end of the month, added across every integrated care board that commissioned from the trust. A long list is not by itself a failing: the trusts at the top of this table are among the largest in England, and a bigger trust carries a bigger list.
The smallest shares inside 18 weeks
- … 84 trusts between
- out of 148 NHS trusts with a list to divide
Pathways waiting 18 weeks or less as a share of the trust’s whole list, smallest first. Trusts with no incomplete pathways have no share and are left out of the ranking rather than placed at either end of it.

Three months, not the whole record. One month of this extract is eighty megabytes open, so each vintage archives the newest month, the month before it and the same month a year earlier — the periods the claims on this page actually name. Every month back to 2011 is on NHS England’s own site.
What the extract publishes, and what it means
- Incomplete pathways50,605
- Patient pathways where a referral has started the clock and treatment has not yet started, counted on the last day of the month. One patient can be on more than one pathway. Added here across every commissioner and every treatment function, from the publisher’s Part 2 rows.
- Waiting 18 weeks or less34,875
- The incomplete pathways in the publisher’s waiting-time bands up to and including “greater than 17 to 18 weeks”. The NHS constitutional standard is that 92% of the list should be inside 18 weeks.
- Waiting more than 52 weeks437
- The incomplete pathways in every band beyond 52 weeks, up to and including the publisher’s open-ended “greater than 104 weeks” band.
These are pathways, not people: one patient waiting for two treatments is counted twice. The clock starts at referral and is still running — a pathway in the “more than 52 weeks” band is someone still waiting after a year, not someone who waited a year and was treated. Pathways the extract records against no identified commissioner are left out, as they are in NHS England’s own provider spreadsheet; these three figures reconcile with that spreadsheet exactly.
That is 0.76% of the 6,693,433 pathways on the lists of all 148 reporting trusts in June 2026.
