Dermatology: Waiting Lists (24 October 2024)

Tackling waiting lists is a key part of our Health Mission. We will deliver an extra 40,000 operations, scans, and appointments, including dermatology appointments, each week, as a first step in our commitment to ensuring that patients can expect to be treated within 18 weeks.

We will be supporting National Health Service trusts to deliver these through innovation, sharing best practice to increase productivity and efficiency, and ensuring the best value is delivered.

The Government is committed to putting patients first. This means making sure that patients across all specialties, including dermatology, are seen on time, and ensuring that people have the best possible experience during their care.
