Question to the Department of Health and Social Care:
To ask the Secretary of State for Health and Social Care, pursuant to the Answer to Question 75821 on Hospitals: Waiting Lists, for what reason no formal assessment has been made of the impact of the additional funding for the NHS on hospital waiting times.
This question was answered on 6th December 2021
No formal assessment has been made due to the significant uncertainty on the demand from people who did not come forward to seek treatment during the pandemic, the ongoing impact of COVID-19 and the consequent effects on waiting lists and waiting times.
