As The Telegraph reports on “hidden” NHS waiting lists, it may be worth highlighting the monthly waiting times statistics released on the Department of Health website.The figures for September 2011 were published at the end of last week, and previous months’ figures can also be found on the publications page of the Department of Health website.
UPDATE: The Guardian’s Data Blog has also published the figures.
Can you do anything with these? And what other contextual data may be useful?
