Question to the Department of Health and Social Care:

To ask the Secretary of State for Health and Social Care, how many patients are recorded as being on a waiting list for treatment more than once for the same condition.

The information is not available in the format requested. Data is not collected based on the patient’s condition, but rather by what category of treatment they are waiting to receive. This Referral to Treatment data is available at the following link:
