but one of the things i have written to the welsh and scottish government is about having much more transparency a yearfor times more likely to wait over a year for treatment compared to england. that is a stark difference. the longest wait, over two years, has been virtually eliminated in england, as have those, whereas in wales it is over 70,000. that is a stark difference between wales and england. in scotland there are over 20,000 patients waiting more than 18 months, and of course these are much smaller populations than in england. i absolutely accept that england there is much more we need to do, which is why we are investing in the diagnostic centres, we have 43 new expanded surgical to boost our treatment and does well we are looking at utilisation of theatre time and how we can increase that, looking ready use of day surgery as well as a range of things we are doing to bring those times down. it is working in terms of the longest wait, but we recognise on the overall number of people waiting, we have got more work to do, and that is what we have focused on. i’m is what we have focused o
