The question
To ask the Scottish Government, further to the answer to question S7O-00051 by Angela Constance on 11 June 2026, whether it will provide a breakdown of the number of people waiting on gynaecology services in each of the last five years.
The answer
Public Health Scotland (PHS) publishes statistics on stages of treatment waiting times for gynaecology by board and length of wait. The most recent report was published on 26 May 2026 and can be found athttps://publichealthscotland.scot/publications/stage-of-treatment-waiting-times/This specific data file contains historic trends for ongoing waits at each quarter-end with a breakdown of waits by NHS board.https://publichealthscotland.scot/media/38855/newop_apr26-data-file-up-to-31-march-2026.xlsxTable 1.1 refers to new outpatients and the drop-down menu can be used to filter by gynaecology. Table 2.2 refers to inpatients and day cases and again, can be filtered by specificality, including gynaecology. This data is based on waits covered by the new outpatient and inpatient and day case waiting times standards, and as such there may be some gynaecology services that do not fall under these criteria and are therefore not included in published statistics.
