Independent Sector Treatment Centres (ISTCs) are free-standing surgical units which deliver, for the most part, elective surgical procedures which require only a very limited stay in hospital (cataracts, hip replacements, ear, nose and throat etc). They are a key part of the government’s 10-year strategy for tackling waiting lists, increasing capacity in the NHS, and giving patients more choice in where they are to be treated.
