Children needing routine treatment seen on time at Great Western Hospitals Trust

NHS rules state patients referred for non-urgent consultant-led care should be seen within 18 weeks.

It contrasts with the picture across England, where more than 72,600 youngsters had been on the waiting list for more than 18 weeks in May, meaning around 29% had been waiting too long for treatment. The Patients Association and Healthwatch England have called on the NHS to ensure families are kept up to date while waiting for treatment.
