How to read these changes

Each row compares the same provider's incomplete-pathway totals in two consecutive NHS England RTT monthly returns. A rise in the 18-week share is an improvement on that metric; a fall is a decline. Waiting-list size and 52-week counts move independently - a trust can improve its 18-week share while the absolute list grows.
