Question to the Department of Health and Social Care:
To ask His Majesty's Government what (1) estimates, or (2) management information, they have available regarding the number of patients waiting for a spirometry test within each integrated care board.
This question was answered on 19th December 2023
The Department does not currently hold validated data on the number of patients waiting for a spirometry test in England or within each integrated care board. NHS England plans to expand the national diagnostics data collection in 2024. This will provide regular data on spirometry services for the first time.
