No assessment has been made as the information requested is not collected centrally.
NHS England and NHS Improvement consulted on the potential to introduce five new waiting time standards and published the outcomes of this consultation on 22 February 2022. We will work with NHS England and NHS Improvement on the next steps for the proposed mental health access and waiting measures.
