Can waiting times be reset if patients transfer between Trusts?
It depends on the circumstances. If the transfer is agreed in advance between the two Trusts (e.g. to speed up treatment, for continuity of care, etc) then the waiting time should not be reset. If, however, a patient removes him or herself from a Trust’s waiting list and then is subsequently added to the list of another Trust the waiting time should start from the decision to admit at the new provider.
