Notes:

l. The data are reported as a snapshot at a point in time. For this purpose the latest available period within the financial year is used.

2. The figures show the median waiting times for patients still waiting for admission at the end of the period stated. In-patient waiting times are measure from decision to admit by the consultant to admission to hospital.

3. Median waiting times are calculated from aggregate data, rather than patient level data, and therefore are only estimates of the position on average waits. This should be taken into account when interpreting the data.

4. Data not available for month ending December 2007
