The data is not routinely held in the format requested. Data is centrally collected for time from referral to a diagnostic test, but not referral to diagnosis. It is also collected by test type and not the purpose of the test.

Named day
Named day questions only occur in the House of Commons. The MP tabling the question specifies the date on which they should receive an answer. MPs may not table more than five named day questions on a single day.
