The question

To ask the Scottish Government, further to the answer to question S7O-00051 by Angela Constance on 11 June 2026, (a) how many and (b) what proportion of people waiting for gynaecology services in NHS Tayside are not treated within the Scottish Government's treatment time guarantee of 12 weeks.

The answer

Answered by Angela Constance on 2 Jul 2026 · 15 days after it was lodged, on time

There were 37 inpatient or day case admissions during April 2026 that were completed over 12 weeks for NHS Tayside under the specialty of gynaecology, which equates to 49.3% of admissions exceeding the TTG. This compares to 44.9% of all gynaecology inpatient and day case waits completed in excess of 12 weeks across NHS Scotland.Public Health Scotland (PHS) releases statistics, as part of the monthly Stage of Treatment (SoT) publication, on inpatient and day case waits covered by the 12-week Treatment Time Guarantee (TTG). The latest statistics are published up to 30 April 2026 and can be found using the following link:https://publichealthscotland.scot/publications/stage-of-treatment-waiting-times/Please note, individual patients are counted more than once if they are waiting to attend more than one admission, so the official statistics shown here do not reflect the actual number of individuals involved.
