This release contains the latest publication of data following the introduction of 'New Ways of Defining and Measuring Waiting Times' on 1 January 2008. Data are taken from the New Ways compliant Waiting Times Data Warehouse.

'New Ways of Defining and Measuring Waiting Times' introduced a significant change in how NHS Scotland collects and defines waiting times, and also how waiting lists are clinically and administratively managed.

Further information about New Ways is available.
