Question to the Department of Health and Social Care:

To ask Her Majesty's Government what assessment they have made of when NHS England's waiting times will return to those recorded in February 2020 (1) for all operations and procedures, and (2) for patients waiting for more than a year for non-urgent operations and procedures.

The Department is currently making an assessment of National Health Service waiting times in England, including the capacity to return to pre-pandemic levels.
