Question
To ask the Scottish Government how many people were awaiting elective surgery in NHS Lanarkshire in each month since May 2021, broken down by procedure.
Answer
The information requested is not held centrally by the Scottish Government.
Public Health Scotland is not currently able to report accurately on waiting times to this level of detail. More detailed information on the procedure(s) that are planned or undertaken for a patient will be held locally by NHS Boards. We would therefore advise contacting NHS Boards to obtain this data.
Statistics relating to the waits patients experience for inpatient or day case treatment at specialty level are published up to 30 th September 2022 and can be found using the following link:
