Sources and licences
Know Your Wait republishes official statistics released under the UK Open Government Licence (OGL v3.0). All figures shown on this site are either Official Figures or Derived Figures.
Official Figures and Derived Figures
Official Figures: An Official Figure is a statistic republished unchanged from an official publishing nation release, always shown with its source, reporting period and publication date.
Derived Figures: A Derived Figure is calculated by Know Your Wait by exactly adding official figure bands from the same release (for example, summing published waiting bands). If any input figure is withheld or suppressed, the derived figure is not produced. We never estimate, interpolate or fill gaps.
