Research reveals waiting list numbers at Epsom-St Helier More than 800 people had been waiting a year or more for routine treatments at Epsom and St Helier hospitals in February after record backlogs during the coronavirus outbreak. The Nuffield Trust revealed the record size of the NHS waiting list across England shows the health service has been set back years by the coronavirus pandemic and now faces a major backlog . NHS rules state that patients referred for non-urgent consultant-led elective care should start treatment within 18 weeks. But NHS statistics show 880 patients listed for elective operations or treatment at Epsom and St Helier Trust at the end of February had been waiting for at least a year – 3% of all those on the waiting list.
