This document is the technical specification of the Referral to treatment (RTT)/patient treatment list (PLT) reporting specification showing the individual data elements (fields), their format and lists of codes where these are not contained in standard data sources, for example, the NHS data model and dictionary version 3.

Summary

The purpose of the Referral to treatment (RTT)/patient treatment list (PLT) reporting specification is to enable the reporting, in a uniform format, of the number of patients waiting for treatment at providers of healthcare where NHS England Armed Forces is the responsible commissioner. This will ensure that reporting is consistent across all organisations.
