Clinical Activity Data

FOI Request

Under the Freedom of Information Act 2000 I would like to request the following information. This request relates to NHSE’s July 2025 time-series elective care waiting list release from September 2021-June 2025 which disaggregated data by age and sex and partially disaggregated by ethnicity and Indexes of Multiple Deprivation (IMD). Please provide the requested information in an Excel spreadsheet. 1. Share the paediatric elective care waiting list data (under 18) disaggregated by ethnicity and IMD for the time-series September 2021-June 2025, displayed as total numbers waiting month by month. Please indicate if this data has not been collected. 2. Share paediatric community service waiting list data (under 18) disaggregated by ethnicity and IMD for the time-series September 2021– June 2025, displayed as total numbers waiting month by month. If this data has not been collected, please provide the total waiting list for paediatric community care between September 2021-June 2025 by month. If it is not possible to provide the information requested due to the information exceeding the cost of compliance limits identified in Section 12, please provide advice and assistance, under the Section 16 obligations of the Act, as to how I can refine my request. If you have any queries, please don’t hesitate to contact me via email and I will be happy to clarify. Thank you for your time and I look forward to your response.
