Part of Hospital waits and mental health in Portsmouth

Each measure shows its latest figure, how it compares and its trend. The geography is named on every card.

An NHS hospital trust, not the city. It runs Queen Alexandra Hospital in Cosham and serves Portsmouth and south-east Hampshire (Havant, Fareham, Gosport and nearby), so these are not figures for Portsmouth residents only.

Definition: Patients on the waiting list for the 15 key diagnostic tests at the end of the month who had waited 6 weeks or more, as a percentage of everyone on that list. The long-standing standard is no more than 1%. Trust percentages are worked out here from the published counts.

  • Trust figures count everyone waiting for a test at that trust, wherever they live.
  • The most recent months are revised in later releases.
  • The trust total mixes very different tests: a long wait for one test, such as audiology or sleep studies, can raise the trust percentage even when scans are quick.

Series breaks: 2018-04: The South East region total starts here (region code Y59 first appears in the April 2018 file). 2021-04: University Hospitals Sussex (RYR) took its present form this month by merger (it absorbed RXH). Its earlier months are blank, not joined to the figures for the smaller predecessor trust.
